HR Series Heat Exchanger

Heat recovery gas to gas heat exchangerHR Series heat exchangers exchange heat between two enclosed, often pressurized gas streams.  Use our interactive online form to get a fast and accurate quote!

Common Applications
Precooling hot rotary-lobe and multistage centrifugal blower discharge with cold saturated air/gas from a C Series heat exchanger to depress relative humidity in pneumatic conveying, biogas and landfill gas power generation systems.   

Core Construction
The aluminum plate-fin core is furnace brazed with alternating finned flow channels.   Process gas flows in horizontal channels, and ambient cooling air flows upward, through vertical channels.  The process stream enters and exits through rectangular aluminum headers, which are welded to the core.

Operational Considerations
Each process gas passageway is .02 square inches (.25 x .08 inches).  The process stream must be filtered to insure particulate will not obstruct the passages.  If necessary, the service side can usually be cleaned with a soapy water wash.  Due to their long flow length, the process channels should not be considered cleanable.

Installation Considerations
Pulsating flow, such as that produced by rotary lobe blowers should be dampened by a chambered silencer. AA Series exchangers dissipate heat from the process stream to the ambient environment.  They are designed for outdoor installation.  If installed indoors, the area should be very well ventilated.

Performance
Xchanger engineers use a computer model to analyze heat exchanger performance.   A specifically designed program calculates housing material thickness based on the ASME code.  As with all Xchanger equipment, the design performance is guaranteed.

Models
HR-250, HR-500, HR-1000, HR-1250, HR-1750, HR-2000, HR-2500, HR-2750 & HR-3500.
