Temperature effectiveness (sensible)
Temperature effectiveness compares supply temperature change to the maximum possible:
epsilon_T = (T_supply_out - T_supply_in) / (T_exhaust_in - T_supply_in)
This is the number a sensible plate reports, and it is what most generic “efficiency” labels mean.
Dew-point effectiveness (total / enthalpy)
For an enthalpy wheel or membrane, moisture matters, so effectiveness is referenced to the exhaust humidity (dew point):
epsilon_DP = (W_supply_out - W_supply_in) / (W_exhaust_in - W_supply_in)
where W is the humidity ratio. This captures both the temperature and the latent recovery of an enthalpy wheel or 膜式 ERV.
Which to quote
For sensible-only units, temperature effectiveness is the honest figure. For total-energy recovery, dew-point (or enthalpy) effectiveness is the right one – quoting only temperature understates the latent saving. Always check which basis a supplier uses when comparing devices.
Frequently asked questions
Can dew-point effectiveness exceed temperature effectiveness? They measure different things; a wheel can have high dew-point effectiveness even when temperature effectiveness is modest.
Which matters for cooling load? Both – but latent (dew-point) recovery is what relieves the cooling coil in humid climates.

よくある質問
What is temperature effectiveness?
It is the ratio of actual to maximum supply-temperature change using dry-bulb temperatures; the common sensible-effectiveness figure.
What is dew-point effectiveness and when does it differ?
Dew-point effectiveness uses the enthalpy or humidity potential instead of dry-bulb; for enthalpy wheels recovering moisture it can be quite different from temperature effectiveness, so both numbers are reported.
