Air To Air Heat Exchanger
There are a number of types of heat exchanger that can be used in Heat recovery ventilation-HRV devices:
- cross flow heat exchanger up to 60% efficient (passive)
- Recuperator, or cross plate heat exchanger, a countercurrent heat exchanger, as diagrammed to the right
- Thermal Wheel, or rotary heat exchanger (requires motor to turn wheel)
- Heat pipe
- thin multiple heat wires (Fine wire heat exchanger)
- See also:
- Shell and tube heat exchanger
- Plate heat exchanger
- Plate fin heat exchanger
- Ground-coupled heat exchanger
- Dynamic scraped surface heat exchanger
- Waste Heat Recovery Unit
- Micro heat exchanger
- Moving bed heat exchanger
