Heat Recovery

Large energy and power savings can be achieved by heat recovery. The amount of energy saved in a normal air handling or ventilation is usually around 10.000 BTUH (3kW) per 1700 SCFM (at an average temperature of 46°F). Normally a single pass heat exchanger can provide an efficiency of 65 - 70%.

Humidification

Heatex crossflow plate exchangers have a very large contact surface (approx. 2500 Sq Ft for a Model H1000 with plate spacing 0.2") [size 40 x 40 X 40 inches] resulting in very effective humidification when water is sprayed into the exchanger. With the correct conditions, close to 100% humidity can be achieved.

Condensation

If the water content and difference of temperature is big enough then the heat exchanger can be used as a very effective condenser without energy input or freon.

Application area

Pre-cooling

Can be used not only to pre-cool incoming air to an air-conditioner with exhaust cooled air, but also to pre-cool and after-heat to avoid condensation.

Cooling of electrical equipment

Heatex heat exchangers can effectively be used to cool electrical equipment and electronics. The internal airflow in the circulation system is used to cool the electronics. When the internal airflow passes the heat exchanger it is cooled by the external airflow. In this way the right temperature/climate is maintained at all times.

Dryers - save 60% enegy

Heatex can not only pre-heat incoming air in dryer applications with energy consumption reduced by up to 60%, but can also reduce drying times by 50%, and cooling off the exhaust air from the dryer can mean that the duct system can be eliminated.
