The Test Rig

Efficiency is not guessed - it is measured. A balanced test rig drives two controlled air streams through the exchanger and records temperature and humidity on both the supply and exhaust sides. From those readings we calculate sensible effectiveness, latent (enthalpy) effectiveness, and pressure drop.

Following EN 308

Our testing follows EN 308, the European standard for heat exchanger test methods. Running the rig at several airflow and temperature-difference points produces a curve rather than a single marketing figure, so engineers can see performance at part load, not just at the rated point.

CFD and Prototyping

• Computational fluid dynamics to optimise channel geometry
• 3D-printed andimetre-scale prototypes for rapid iteration
• Condensation and frost-risk modelling for cold-climate duty

Turning Data Into Design

The output of R&D is a selection dataset: effectiveness versus face velocity, pressure drop versus airflow, and frosting limits. That dataset is what lets a sizing tool predict real-world behaviour instead of quoting a best-case number.
