Counterflow plate air-to-air heat exchangers
Counterflow plate air-to-air heat exchangers are a type of heat exchanger that uses a series of thin, metal plates to transfer heat between two air streams. The air streams flow in opposite directions (counterflow) through the plates, which maximizes the amount of heat that can be transferred from the hot stream to the cold stream.
Counterflow plate air-to-air heat exchangers are highly efficient, typically achieving up to 90% heat recovery. They are also relatively compact and lightweight, making them a good choice for a variety of applications, including:
- Heating and ventilation systems
- Pool dehumidification
- Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs)
- Data center cooling
Here are some of the benefits of using counterflow plate air-to-air heat exchangers:
- High efficiency: Counterflow plate air-to-air heat exchangers can transfer a large amount of heat from one air stream to another, which can save energy.
- Compact size: Counterflow plate air-to-air heat exchangers are relatively small and lightweight, making them easy to install in a variety of applications.
- Low pressure drop: The pressure drop across a counterflow plate air-to-air heat exchanger is relatively low, which means that less fan energy is required to move air through the exchanger.
- Wide range of applications: Counterflow plate air-to-air heat exchangers can be used in a variety of applications, including heating and ventilation systems, pool dehumidification, energy recovery ventilators (ERVs), and data center cooling.
If you are looking for a way to improve the energy efficiency of your building, a counterflow plate air-to-air heat exchanger may be a good option.
