1. Introduction. Energy recovery in air handling units (AHU) can be carried out in several ways. One way is the use of cross-flow or hexagonal heat exchangers, which utilize formed hexagonal heat exchanger plates built into a housing that causes two air streams to pass in opposite directions and transfer energy from one air stream to the other.
Parallel-flow and Counter-flow Heat Exchanger. Heat exchangers are typically classified according to flow arrangement and type of construction. The simplest heat exchanger is one for which the hot and cold fluids move in the same or opposite directions. This heat exchanger consists of two concentric pipes of different diameters.
In counter-flow heat exchangers, the supply and exhaust air entering the heat exchanger on opposite sides, the air flows are parallel but reversed in direction.
However, its construction features a parallel section, giving it a larger contact surface than the cross-flow plate heat exchanger. The temperature efficiency where the supply and extract air flow at identical rates is approx. 65% for a cross-flow plate heat exchanger and up to approx. 80% for a counter-flow plate heat exchanger.

The most common arrangements for flow paths within a heat exchanger are counter-flow and parallel flow. A counter-flow heat exchanger is one in which the direction of the flow of one of the working fluids is opposite to the direction to the flow of the other fluid. In a parallel flow exchanger, both fluids in the heat exchanger flow in the same direction.
A thermal wheel, also known as a rotary heat exchanger, or rotary air-to-air enthalpy wheel, or heat recovery wheel, is a type of energy recovery heat exchanger positioned within the supply and exhaust air streams of an air-handling system or in the exhaust gases of an industrial process, in order to recover the heat energy. Other variants include enthalpy wheels and desiccant wheels.
In a rotary heat exchanger, the heat from the exhaust air is picked up by the aluminum matrix and transferred to the supply air as the wheel turns. Models Heatex rotary heat exchangers provide very high sensible and latent efficiencies.
Comparison of Heat Exchanger Types Each of the three types of heat exchangers (Parallel, Cross and Counter Flow) has advantages and disadvantages. But of the three, the counter flow heat exchanger design is the most efficient when comparing heat transfer rate per unit surface area.

PLATE HEAT EXCHANGERS . Heat Exchangers. Plate Heat Exchangers were first produced in the 1920s and have since been widely used in a great number of sectors.. A plate exchanger consists of a series of parallel plates that are placed one above the other so as to allow the formation of a series of channels for fluids to flow between them.
Sep 03, 2020· Countercurrent flow heat exchangers, also known as counter flow heat exchangers, are designed such that the fluids move antiparallel (i.e., parallel but in opposite directions) to each other within the heat exchanger. The most commonly employed of the flow configurations, a counter flow arrangement typically exhibits the highest efficiencies as
The speed of the heat exchanger is controlled in a contin-uously variable manner by a thermostat for either con-stant supply air temperature, or constant room tempera-ture, or constant exchaust air temperature.
