Overview
Air-to-air heat exchangers transfer energy between supply and exhaust air streams. Select crossflow or counterflow plates for compact and high effectiveness, or rotary wheels for balanced recovery and low frost risk.
Performance (placeholder)
Type | Media | Effectiveness | Pressure drop (Pa) |
---|---|---|---|
Crossflow plate | Aluminum - polymer | 0.6 - 0.8 | 120 - 250 |
Counterflow plate | Aluminum - polymer | 0.7 - 0.9 | 160 - 300 |
Rotary wheel | Sensible - enthalpy | 0.6 - 0.85 | 100 - 220 |
Note: Ranges are indicative and depend on geometry, airflow, and sealing.
