Corrosion-free heat exchanger

Our solution

With over 40 years of experience, we have developed a product that offers precise heating, advanced dehumidification and intelligent ventilation. The integrated counterflow plate heat exchanger with a true counterflow ratio of 80 % maximises heat recovery for maximum efficiency and energy savings.

Polypropylene instead of aluminium


The key to our corrosion-free approach is polypropylene (PP), a thermoplastic material. Compared to conventional materials, PP not only offers high resistance to acids, alkalis, salts and solvents, but is also free from toxic substances and groundwater-neutral. This makes it ideal for use in air handling and ventilation technology, whether in industrial applications with polluted extract air or in areas with high humidity.


High durability


The corrosion-free properties of polypropylene enable a long service life without the influence of oxidation, rust formation or other typical corrosion processes. Our heat exchanger is insensitive to microbiological growth and therefore does not provide a breeding ground for germs or algae deposits.

All-in-one concept

The units of the NX ThermoCond series achieve a very high passive energy efficiency, as the integrated control and regulation determines the minimum proportion of outdoor air that is required for dehumidifying the indoor industry hall air. The integrated counterflow plate heat exchanger achieves the highest heat recovery rates with a real counterflow proportion of 80 %.

Performance parameters

The NX ThermoCond is already equipped with a large number of performance parameters:

  • Corrosion-free counterflow plate heat exchanger made from polypropylene

  • Heating coil

  • Air filtration in all operating conditions, with filters in return, outside and supply air

  • Constantly regulated recirculation air dampers for heating purposes

  • Integrated freely programmable control and regulation unit

  • Intensive quality inspection with factory test run

  • Complete cleaning of the heat exchanger possible without dismantling

Additional options

We also offer a wide range of options for customization. These include a shortened version of the recuperator, attenuators for low-noise operation, options for outdoor installation, remote maintenance options for efficient servicing and various versions of the building management system (BMS).

Heat exchanger

Revolutionary performance in building air conditioning: our counterflow plate heat exchanger made of microbiologically non-metabolisable polypropylene sets new standards. With a counterflow ratio of at least 80 %, we optimise the air volume at all operating points, the heat recovery coefficient, flow losses and condensate removal. Our integrated design maximises efficiency across the unit depth and guarantees peak efficiency over the entire outdoor temperature range. Highly corrosion resistant, acid and alkali resistant - our counterflow plate heat exchanger meets the stringent requirements of VDI 6022 and VDI 3803 sheet 1. With a minimum fin spacing of 5.2 mm and complete cleanability according to VDI 3803 sheet 1:2020-05, we set new standards in the industry.

Control and regulation unit

Our switching and control equipment redefines efficiency. A pre-wired control cabinet contains all control, regulation and drive components, perfectly matched to your unit. From terminals for the main power supply to motor and control cables, main/repair switches and motor control components - everything is precisely integrated. Our electronic control system sets new standards in programming freedom. With an object-oriented Graphic Editor and the option for expansion via peripheral bus with local or remote I/O expansion modules, you retain full control. Thanks to potential-free contacts suitable for 230 V / 2 A, we offer a flexible control solution that adapts perfectly to your needs. The control cabinet is mounted on the unit and foldable for transport or possible for wall mounting with 15 metre cable length.

Casing
  • Thermal bridging class TB1 (M)

  • Leakage class L1 (M)

  • Case stability D1 (M)

  • Filter bypass leakage F9 (M)

  • Panels and doors in corrosion class C4

  • Heat transfer T2 (M)

Filter

Pure protection for clean air: Our filters complies with ISO 16890 and set new standards in filter technology. The filters are equipped with high-performance panel filter cells or pocket filters that ensure maximum filter performance. With a filtration efficiency that meets quality standards and a CE 1935/2004 food compatibility test certification, we offer you top quality.

Our filters are ready for any climate: with suitability for relative humidities of up to 100 %, they are the optimal choice for diverse environments. An intelligent filter mounting frame, sealed with self-sealing rubber lips, ensures a secure seal against the housing.

Dampers

Constantly regulated recirculation air dampers for heating purposes. Airtight according to DIN EN 1751:2014 class 2. The flap design allows a complete opening of the airways for the lowest possible flow losses and optimum loading of the downstream components.

Factory test run

For highest quality: Each unit undergoes a documented test run before delivery. The control cabinet test is carried out in accordance with DIN EN 60204 and includes the assembly and wiring in the test field. Visual and leak checks of all installations guarantee your safety. In addition, a detailed test run and the setting of safety-relevant parameters are carried out. Our software and all control and regulation components are subject to a detailed function check. The pressure measurement report from the factory test run is included in the scope of delivery. We rely on the highest quality standards to meet your requirements.

Maintenance

Complete cleaning of the heat exchanger possible without dismantling. Inspection openings allow the front to be fully opened for maintenance and cleaning.
