XeteX Custom DOAS Benefits

Innovative Weight-Saving Design

This XeteX custom DOAS features an innovative weight-saving design. The interior construction utilizes 0.080 aluminum casings and floor for significant weight reduction. This makes the system lighter and easier to install when compared with steel and reduces the structural load on the facility. 

Utilizing Energy Recovery for Energy Efficient Year-Round Climate Control

Energy efficiency is an important factor for this federal facility, and this XeteX custom DOAS excels by integrating an enthalpy flat plate heat exchanger within the design. This device effectively transfers heat and moisture between incoming outdoor air and outgoing exhaust air, significantly reducing the energy required for heating and cooling. The enthalpy flat plate heat exchanger not only decreases operational costs but also minimizes the building's carbon footprint, offering a more sustainable solution.

Among the innovations of this XeteX custom DOAS is the integration of an enthalpy energy recovery flat plate heat exchanger with advanced heating and cooling equipment. The indirect gas-fired furnace ensures optimal comfort during cold winters, while the packaged DX cooling system, with a capacity of 34 tons, efficiently manages the demands of hot summer months. The inclusion of a variable frequency drive (VFD) and staged compressors further optimizes energy consumption by adjusting to real-time demand.

The enthalpy flat plate heat exchanger reduces the load on the heating and cooling systems, enhancing the energy efficiency of the building's HVAC system. With an energy effectiveness of 59% in winter and 52% in summer, this component provides an energy-efficient solution throughout the year.

Enhancing Indoor Air Quality with High Efficiency Filters

This custom DOAS draws 100% fresh outdoor air and is equipped with high-efficiency MERV 13 filters mounted at the OA, SA and RA that capture a wide range of airborne contaminants. Together the filtered fresh air provides a healthier indoor environment for federal facility occupants.
