OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
Air/Water Heat Exchange System
The VLV Air/Water Heat Exchanger was developed to extend the service life of the membranes used in aeration tanks. Among other various applications, the unit also recovers energy from the blower-produced air stream that is used for the heating of ventilation air or tap water.
Compressed air flows into the heat exchanger axially via the inlet pipe. After being pressed against a wall at the far end of the heat exchanger, the air flows freely between a number of layers of surface-maximizing copper loops in which the cooling agent circulates concentrically. The air is directed past the wall of the heat exchanger and then onwards to the outlet. This generates effective temperature reduction of air passing through aeration membranes.
The flanged axial inlet and outlet make installation easier in both new and existing plants. Additionally, the flanged casing facilitates easier inspection and maintenance. As standard, VLV units are manufactured in 304 stainless steel with copper cooling tubes.

What is a Water to Air Heat Exchanger?
A water to air heat exchanger is a device that transfers heat between water and air. This allows homeowners to use their existing furnace or boiler system to distribute warm air throughout their home.
Water to air heat exchangers work on the principle of thermal exchange. When hot water enters the exchanger, it cools down (as it goes from a liquid to a gas) and starts to transfer its thermal energy to the air. The colder air then takes up this energy and releases it as heat into the room, keeping your home warm.
There are two main types of water to air heat exchangers: reverse cycle and direct cycle. Reverse cycle exchangers work in the opposite direction of regular cycling; that is, they start by exchanging hot water for cold air and then reversing the process. Direct cycle exchangers work in regular cycles, with both hot water and cold air entering at once.
There are also hybrid versions of both types of exchangers which combine aspects of both systems. Direct cycle hybrid exchangers have both hot and cold chambers, while reverse cycle hybrid exchangers have one chamber that’s constantly heated by hot water from the boiler or furnace, making them simpler to install than traditional reverse cycle exchangers.
