Schematic view of air to air heat exchanger system

What is the function of the heat exchangers in general, and this type of heat exchanger? As the name implies, heat exchangers are devices where two moving fluid streams exchange heat without mixing. Air to air heat exchanger removes stale indoor air, replacing it with fresh, clean air from outdoors. These mechanical ventilation systems help prevent exposure to harmful fumes and gases while also getting rid of humidity build up that could create mold, mildew, and other damage to a building. Air to air heat exchangers also help heating and cooling systems run more efficiently by removing excess humidity, contaminants, odors, and other air pollutants. Air to air heat exchangers are designed to meet re!uirements of modern, tightly built, and highly insulated homes and buildings while also reducing heating and cooling costs. They also help protect against sic"ness or other health issues resulting from the exposure to fumes from household products, such as cleaning products. #tuffiness within the air is also alleviated through the replacement of old air with fresh, outside air. Where do we use air to air heat exchangers? Air to air heat exchangers can be tailored to meet individual re!uirements. They can be used in bathrooms, living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and other locations within a home or building. Air to air heat exchangers are also available in many si$es and constructions. %ptional features and accessories, such as a remote control, sleeves, duct fittings, and exhaust grilles, are also possible add ons.

CONCLUSION
'n this experiment our purpose was to determine the outlet temperature of heated fluid which exits from the heat exchanger by using the given inlet temperatures of fluids and outlet temperature of cooled fluid. is calculated (( .Actually we must use instead of but we can easily see that is $ero. This case is probably because of nonideal

conditions. The air to air heat exchanger is not perfectly insulated so some errors occur in our calculations.
