  • Heat exchange element profile with enhanced cleanability features
    Patent number: 10809013
    Abstract: A stack of heating surface elements includes a first heating surface element (4) having first (10), second (12) and third (14) zones arranged sequentially along a primary gas flow direction (A). The first zone (10) includes a herringbone structure, the second zone (12) includes a flat structure, and the third zone (14) includes a plurality of corrugations extending in the primary gas flow direction (A). The corrugations have flat peak and trough regions. The stack also includes a second heating surface element (36), where the second heating surface element includes a plurality of corrugations extending in the primary gas flow direction (A).

  • Heat exchange surface
    Publication number: 20100218927
    Abstract: A heating surface element with a zig zag arrangement of longitudinal undulations which serve to minimize the skew flow of the gas. The angle of the undulations is preferably 15° to 35° to the primary flow direction of the gas. When used in combination with a notched heat surface element, the undulation preferably crosses no more than one opposing notch before changing direction.
