In cold-climate ventilation, an exhaust-to-supply air-to-air plate exchanger can frost on the exhaust side when the supply outlet drops below the dew point of the humid exhaust. Frost narrows the channels, raises pressure drop and eventually blocks the core. Knowing when it forms — and which protection strategy to use — keeps the unit efficient […]
Commercial Kitchen Heat Recovery from Exhaust
Commercial Kitchen Heat Recovery: Capturing Energy from Exhaust with Air-to-Air Heat Exchangers Walk into any busy restaurant kitchen at dinner service and you will feel it: a wall of hot, greasy exhaust air being thrown out through the hood, while at the same time the make-up air unit is burning energy to condition cold outside […]
Heat Recovery in HVAC: Cutting Energy with Air-to-Air
Why Ventilation Wastes Energy Buildings need fresh air, but exhausting conditioned indoor air and bringing in untreated outdoor air can waste a large share of heating and cooling energy. In cold weather the incoming air must be heated; in hot weather it must be cooled. Air-to-air heat recovery closes that gap. How Air-to-Air Recovery Works […]

What Is a Good Flow Velocity for an Air-to-Air Heat Exchanger?
The flow velocity selection for an air-to-air heat exchanger depends on the operating conditions, exchanger type, design objectives, and fluid properties. The following are recommendations and typical ranges: Typical flow velocity range Gas velocity: 10–30 m/s. Low velocity (~10 m/s): for pressure-drop-sensitive or energy-saving scenarios. High velocity (~20–30 m/s): for enhanced heat transfer; watch pressure […]
