Hp-EX4

Sensible cross-flow heat exchangers

Sensible cross-flow heat exchangers by ZERN ENGINEERING (Hp-EX4 series) are compact plate cores for temperature-only recovery. The Hp-EX4 series uses stacked polystyrene plates to deliver high sensible effectiveness with low pressure drop - ideal for decentralized units and compact AHU modules where humidity transfer is not required.

Key operational parameters

Performance сharacteristics

Thermal efficiency

Up to 75% under optimal conditions

Pressure drop

Typically, 40–150 Pa (depends on air flow, plate spacing & core size)

Operating temperature

−25 °C to +50 °C

Air leakage

<1%

Maintenance

Durable, corrosion-free PS core; washable for long service life

Principle of operations

Two sealed airstreams pass perpendicularly (90°) through separate PS plate channels. Heat crosses the thin walls without air or moisture mixing, providing stable, effective recovery and preventing odor or particle carryover.

Core material

High-quality thermoformed polystyrene plates stacked into fully isolated channels; corrosion-free, hygienic, and washable.

Casing materials

Polystyrene (HIPS) - lightweight, insulated; ideal for compact residential units.

Main areas of use

Applications


  • Residential ventilation - apartments, small homes, room units.
  • Small commercial - shops, offices, classrooms.
  • Dehumidifiers & dryers - controlled air drying with zero moisture carryover.
  • Decentralized systems - compact, zone-based HRV units.

SIZES OF OUR HEAT EXCHANGERS

MODEL LINE


  • Dimensions A and B are fixed. Dimension C is the width of the heat exchanger and can be varied.
  • Each heat exchanger model can be manufactured with a depth (dimension C) ranging from 100 mm to 800 mm per unit.
  • Heat exchangers with a width of 800 mm and above are supplied as two or more units.
