Plate heat exchangers

In the previous post, we discussed the types of heat exchangers that are used in today’s air handling units (AHUs).

Now let’s look at the purpose, design, and different types of plate heat exchangers. 

The purpose of a plate heat exchanger is to recover heat from the exhaust air stream, thereby reducing the energy consumption for the heating of the supply air stream. 

A plate heat exchanger is a set of plates with a special profile, arranged at a certain distance from each other and enclosed in a casing. This configuration allows the creation of a heat transfer matrix with a parallel arrangement of channels, ensuring efficient energy exchange between two airflows. 

Main types of plate heat exchangers:

1️⃣ by flow direction:

  • counter-flow;
  • cross-flow.

2️⃣ by the type of energy transfer:

  • sensible – with the transfer of sensible energy of dry air;
  • enthalpy – with the transfer of sensible energy of dry air + with the transfer of latent energy of water vapor. 

In the following posts, we will introduce you to the range of plate heat exchangers from ZERN ENGINEERING.

Discover the world of ventilation systems together with Zern Engineering!

Have you ever wondered how buildings and premises remain fresh and comfortable? And all this is due to a ventilation system – a fascinating and complex technology, comprising various components! 

At the heart of this system are the air handling units that work in concert to ensure a steady flow of fresh air while removing stale air.

The core of the air handling unit is a heat exchanger. This carefully designed component captures and uses energy from the outgoing air before it’s removed. The captured energy is transferred to the incoming fresh air, pre-warming or pre-cooling it if required. By utilizing this recovered energy, the system significantly reduces overall energy consumption, ultimately leading to cost savings and a significantly reduced impact on the environment. The process employs the principle of regenerative heat exchange and plays a crucial role in making the entire system more energy-efficient and eco-friendly.

Currently, there are different types of heat exchangers that are most commonly used in ventilation systems:

  • sensible plate heat exchangers;
  • enthalpy plate heat exchangers;
  • rotary heat exchangers (condensing / enthalpy / sorption / epoxy).
