Hi all,

i'm a student designing a refrigeration system this yr.
i'm trying to find out the latest technology that exist in the market for:

1. air-to-Air heat exchanger
2. regenerative heat exchanger/regenerator

ive done some research already for both, however what i found is mostly talking about Air conditioning systems and heating buildings.

could they be used the same way for a refrigeration system?

im more confused about what is a regenerator now after reading more about it.
is a regenerator the same as a recuperator?

Could someone kindly please enlighten me....

where is the place to start to find information on these areas as i find that the research ive done is still not giving me a good enough understanding?

Many thanks.

ps. i wasnt sure if this is the right place to put this here...because the HEs im talking about is related to both refrigeration and AC systems.

Spider:

We can probably help you out. But to do so, you must be specific with us.

What is it you are studying? Chemical Engineering? Mechanical engineering? Air Conditioning Technician? We need to know how to orient you or to explain things to you.

What type of refrigeration are you referring to? Air Conditioning? Industrial refrigeration? Commercial applications? Or are you going to venture into the Cryogenic zone? Regenerative exchangers are usually reserved for the Cryogenic area - as in Air Separation plants.

The more specific details you give, the better the responses. You haven't even filled in your member's data form, so we don't even know what country or university you are at.

thanks for your reply but i think i have solved this problem now.
i will use a ppalte and fin heat exchanger to do the job.

here is another problem im having ...its related to this system but i started a new topic have a look here pls.
