Heat recovery kit
October 26th 2007

AmbiRad Group has signed an exclusive agreement with Klingenburg of Gladbeck, Germany, for UK-wide distribution of energy saving plate heat exchangers and thermal wheels.

The heat recovery equipment will be marketed through Reznor UK, specialists in the design and supply of high efficiency warm air heating systems. The company’s focus on driving up the energy efficiency of its products has prompted the move to bring the complementary Klingenburg range to the UK market.

Recent developments provide counterflow plate heat exchangers with heat recovery efficiencies of up to 85% for standard heating and ventilation applications. When applied to fresh air input units the high efficiency heat recovery can eliminate the need for additional low pressure hot water or electric heating coils, thereby reducing running, capital and installation costs.

As a major supplier of thermal wheels throughout the world, Klingenburg has comprehensive capability, supplying wheels up to 6 metres in diameter for applications as diverse as HVAC, high temperature process heat recovery up to 650°C and specialist paint booth rotors for major motor vehicle manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Honda and Volkswagen.

Andrew Patch, OEM sales manager of Reznor, comments: “Recognising that ventilation loss forms the major part of energy consumption in HVAC systems it is essential that heat recovery is applied wherever possible. The Klingenburg range will complement our existing offering both in terms of quality and energy efficiency. Air quality standards must be maintained but at the same time we need to recover as much heat as possible from the exhaust air and re-use it. The increased air capacity and high energy efficiency of the Klingenburg heat recovery range offers designers, consultants and manufacturers a new option in reducing both carbon emissions and ongoing running costs.”
