Stainless Steel Cross-Flow

Efficient and reliable heat recovery for demanding environments—our crossflow stainless steel air-to-air heat exchanger is built to perform where durability, and corrosion resistance matter most.

We have two stainless cross-flow Models: one optimized for high efficiency (Model Z2) and one for lower pressure drop (Model Z). They also differ in available sizes and plate distances.

Stainless Steel Air-to-Air Plate Heat Exchangers

Our stainless steel air-to-air plate heat exchanger is designed for reliable heat recovery in demanding environments where durability and corrosion resistance are essential.

Built from high-grade stainless steel (316L), it ensures a long service life even under harsh operating conditions involving moisture, contaminants, or aggressive airstreams.

The crossflow design enables efficient heat transfer between supply and exhaust air streams while keeping them completely separated, preventing cross-contamination.

Stainless steel cross-flow heat exchangers are a robust and maintenance-friendly solution for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, such as:

  • Industrial drying (ventilation) and process air
    Ideal for applications involving aggressive or moisture-laden exhaust air.
  • Swimming pools and high-humidity environments
    Resistant to corrosion caused by chlorinated or humid air.
  • Marine and offshore installations
    Withstands harsh, salty environments and challenging operating conditions.

The key benefits of Heatex stainless steel cross-flow heat exchangers are:

  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel for a long lifetime
  • Reliable separation of supply and exhaust air
  • High performance in humid and aggressive environments
  • Low maintenance and robust operation
  • Energy-efficient heat recovery with reduced operating costs

Our stainless steel heat exchangers are engineered to deliver consistent performance where aluminum and even corrosion-protected frameworks fall short—making them a dependable choice for very tough comfort and process ventilation applications.

We supply two models: Z2 and Z. They differ mainly in their heat-transfer plate patterns, with Z2 offering the highest efficiency and Z the lowest pressure drop, depending on product configuration.

With our advanced selection tool Heatex Select Online, you can accurately size and configure your stainless steel heat exchanger based on real operating conditions—ensuring maximum heat recovery and optimized pressure drop right here in your browser.
