Air-air heat exchanger

An air-air heat exchanger, is a preheating systems used, for instance, in boilers where exhaust fumes are used to increase the temperature of the inlet air flow reducing the thermal difference. So the same boiler can achieve the same result by using less energy.

In these recovery systems we can find different systems such as air-to-air, air-to-gas or air-to-exhaust fumes systems, and also using other methods such as air-to-water or air-to-steam systems. For example in the wood dryers.

These systems are important to take advantage of all our industrial resources and use the exceding industrial energy to reduce our consumption and being more responsible with the natural environment.

At Boixac Tech we have air-air heat exchangers that can work with high temperatures, high pressures, dusty and corrosive environments.

Economizer for greenhouses

ECONOMIZER FOR GREENHOUSES GREENHOUSES AND FARMS An economizer for greenhouses or farms refers to the heat recovery system designed to improve efficiency in an environment where, among other things, crop performance is optimized by controlling temperature, ambient humidity, and CO₂. Within the wide range of implementations, we highlight three main areas: 1. The first block refers to water treatment for the hydroponic growth of tomatoes, lettuces, peppers, strawberries, etc. Hydroponic cultivation allows plants to grow faster and more vigorously thanks to direct access to nutrients. These nutrients are dissolved in a water flow that is distributed to the plants through channels. For proper nutrient absorption, it is important to maintain the water within certain temperature ranges, which is achieved thanks to our finned tubes. This heat exchange system can use spiral fins or continuous fins following the same direction as the tubes, maintaining a homogeneous temperature and optimizing both plant growth and quality. 2. The second block is air treatment through overhead ducts, where BOIXAC provides the finned heat exchangers that condition the air in the greenhouse or breeding farm. These exchangers can include various accessories such as fans, humidity controls, and temperature controls. 3. The third block refers to the technology that enriches the environment, thus increasing photosynthetic activity. We achieve this by reusing the excess energy from exhaust gases through the ECO, AIRY, or GASY heat recovery systems. These thermal exchange units are selected based on primary and secondary fluids; in addition, the materials are also chosen according to the specific needs of each installation. Custom solutions for energy optimization in greenhouses and farms. Heat recovery systems for greenhouses and farms Water coil Water coil that is often used to condition the environment of greenhouses and breeding farms, improving animal welfare. Energy economizer Energy economizer or heat recovery system that allows the reuse of excess energy, for example, from biomass boilers. Finned heat exchanger Finned tube heat exchanger, a temperature control system that optimizes durability even in environments with certain contamination factors.
