    •  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
  • In the accompanying drawings there is schematically depicted a heat exchanger 10. The heat exchanger 10 includes a cabinet 11 that houses a plurality of baffles 12 and 13. In this embodiment the baffles 12 and 13 are generally vertically oriented, that is they generally each lie in their respective vertical planes. In an alternative arrangement the baffles may be horizontally oriented.
  • The baffles 12 and 13 are arranged alternately and are separated by sheet material 14. The sheet material 14 (as best seen in FIG. 2) provides a plurality of slots 15 and 16, with the baffles 12 being located in slots 15 and the baffles 13 being located in slots 16. Preferably, the sheet material 15 consists of a plurality of individual sheets 37, each sheet 37 being located between adjacent baffles 12 and 13.
  • Preferably, the baffle 12 is of a rectangular or square configuration so as to have a first longitudinal side 17 and a second longitudinal side 18, the sides 17 and 18 being generally parallel and co-extensive. Joining the sides 17 and 18 are transverse ends 19 and 20, the ends 19, 20 being generally parallel and co-extensive, and generally perpendicular to the sides 17 and 18.
  • The baffle 12 (as best seen in FIGS. 3 and 4) includes a plurality of dividing walls 21 that provide a plurality of passages 22 through which air passes from an inlet 23 to an outlet 24. Each of the passages 22 includes a first passage length 25, a second passage length 26 and third passage length 27, with the lengths 25, 26 and 27 arranged in series extending from the inlet 23 to the outlet 24. Air enters the inlet 23 passes along the passages 22 to exit via the outlet 24.
  • As is best seen in FIG. 3, the first lengths 25 extend generally perpendicular from the side 27, with the lengths 27 extending generally perpendicular to the side 18. The lengths 26 extend generally parallel to the sides 17 and 18.
  • The baffles 13 are best seen in FIGS. 5 and 6. Each of the baffles 13 is of the same rectangular configuration as the baffles 12, so as to have a pair of longitudinal sides 28 and 29 joined by transverse ends 30 and 31. The baffle 13 has a plurality of dividing walls 33 that extend generally parallel to the sides 28 and 29 so as to provide a plurality of longitudinal extending passages 34. The passages 34 extend generally parallel to the sides 28 and 29 and extend from an inlet 35 to an outlet 36.
  • The sheet material 14 provides for the transfer of heat between air passing through the passages 22, and the passages 34.
  • The above described preferred embodiment has the advantage of increasing the length over which the second lengths 26 are aligned with the passages 34, relative to previously known heat exchangers as described previously. This provides for an increase in the total length of counter current air flow within the heat exchanger 10, thereby increasing the heat transfer between air passing through the passages 22 and air passing through the passages 34. If the sheet material 15 is moisture pervious, then the transfer of moisture is also enhanced.
  • The above described preferred embodiment has the further advantage of increasing the average temperature difference between air passing through the second lengths 26 and the passages 34.
