General Description
Flat Plate Heat exchangers allow the HEAT-X-CHANGER transfer of heat from exhaust air to ventilation air. Since the heat is transferred through a medium like aluminum, the clean air and dirty air never come in contact. Consequently up to 90% of the heat is recovered and placed in clean, healthy ventilation air.

Xetex makes flat plate heat exchangers for both the industrial and commercial markets.

Design Consideration
Flat Plate Heat Exchangers must provide a high level of energy recovery efficiency. These units must be flexible enough to allow their custom application to many unique heat recovery situations.

Advantages:

Highest Efficiency in the Industry
Counter-flow heat exchanger performance providing up to 90% effectiveness.
Laminar air flow for reduced pressure drop and lower energy costs.
Engineered air channels for even airflow distribution over the entire cell.
Close rib spacing & rigid construction nearly doubles the transfer surface and maximizes cell rigidity.
Standard Operating Temperatures from -40^oF to 250^oF
Certified Performance by an Independent Test Lab
Vertical or Horizontal Mounting Capability
Optional Materials and Coatings Available for Special Requirements

Why Choose Heat-X-Changer?
Heat-X-Changer's unique construction of engineered airflow channels and close rib spacing provide maximum heat transfer, among the highest in the industry, and versatile configuration options.

Strong Construction
The standard Heat-X-Changer unit is constructed of alternately oriented channels of high grade aluminum. These channels are not sealed by crimping, they are secured with an adhesive sealant applied between plates to produce an exchanger cell that is extremely rigid and virtually "crush-proof." This unique process eliminates exposed joints and provides a tight, leak-resistant seal. Cross contamination of supply and exhaust air is virtually eliminated.

Custom Designs
Heat-X-Changer units also offer the option of custom construction. Units can be constructed of stainless steel, galvanized steel or aluminum plates to match any special requirements. Custom built Heat-X-Changer units can handle temperatures up to 1000^oF where required. Special Epoxy or Heresite coatings are also available for highly corrosive environments, or Xseal can be applied to the complete cell where an airtight or water seal is critical.

Independent Testing
XeteX is one of the only companies to offer certified, independent tests showing product efficiency. All tests comply to ASHRAE Testing Standard 84-1991. Test data is available upon request.
