Enthalpic Crossflow Plate Heat Exchanger Benefits to Energy Effectiveness
One of the most innovative aspects of the featured AVENTUS ERV is its use of an enthalpic crossflow plate heat exchanger (HX). This HX is designed to maximize energy recovery by transferring both heat and moisture between air streams. This results in energy effectiveness with ratings of 68% in winter and 56% in summer.
The seasonal effectiveness of an enthalpic crossflow plate heat exchanger is particularly beneficial in regions with extreme temperature variations. During winter, the HX recovers heat from the outgoing air, reducing the need for additional heating. In summer, it helps cool the incoming air, easing the load on cooling systems.
For HVAC engineers and facility owners and managers, the benefits an enthalpy crossflow plate heat exchanger have in enhancing heating and cooling efficiencies lead to lower operational costs and a reduction in the facility's carbon footprint for a more sustainable operation.
