LoginThe design of a low cost ventilation air heat exchanger which utilizes plastic sheets as the heat transfer surface is presented. Laboratory tests on such acounter flow heat exchanger have demonstrated very high values of overall heat transfer coefficients, heat exchanger effectiveness, and temperature recovery when the flow is laminar and buoyancy effects assist the heat transfer. The costs of such heat exchangers would make them attractive for many building applications.
