Plate Heat Exchangers
Our plate heat exchangers transfer thermal energy between air streams through conductive plates. These systems achieve up to 79.4% thermal efficiency while maintaining complete separation between airflows. Ideal for commercial buildings requiring ventilation with minimal energy loss, they reduce heating and cooling costs through passive heat recovery. The cross-counterflow design optimises temperature exchange in compact installations.
Rotary Heat Exchangers
Cylindrical rotor systems with thousands of micro-channels capture and transfer heat between alternating air streams. These high-efficiency units (up to 85% thermal recovery) are suited for industrial processes requiring continuous operation. The rotating matrix design allows simultaneous heat absorption and release, maintaining stable indoor temperatures in large facilities like data centres and manufacturing plants.
Enginia Components
Specialist plastic components for air handling units including inspection ports, hinges, and structural connectors. Engineered for durability in demanding environments, these precision parts meet international safety standards. Designed for easy integration with major HVAC systems, they enhance operational efficiency while reducing maintenance requirements in commercial and industrial ventilation installations.
Software Solutions
Comprehensive calculation software and technical documentation for system design and performance optimisation. Our digital tools enable precise sizing and configuration of heat recovery systems, with access to product manuals, certifications, and technical papers. The platform supports BIM integration and provides real-time performance simulations for commercial and industrial applications.
Industrial Applications
Custom heat recovery solutions for industrial processes including wood drying, paint curing, and agricultural ventilation. Our systems integrate with combustion equipment to preheat intake air while meeting strict emissions regulations. Specialised configurations handle solvent vapours, high-temperature exhausts, and corrosive environments in manufacturing, food processing, and energy production facilities.
