Efficiency

When discussing temperature efficiencies, it is important to differentiate between dry and wet temperature efficiencies.

mollier diagram

A dry temperature efficiency of 85 per cent is equivalent to a wet temperature efficiency of over 90 per cent. The wet temperature efficiency is theoretical and may not work in practice due to freezing. We have tried to illustrate this in the diagram below.

Do not be misled by various "marketing tricks" that specify different efficiencies for the same heat exchanger.

We always specify the dry efficiency, which is also the only efficiency that can be measured during an inspection.

Same heat exchanger reported on in different ways

Dry, in accordance with EN308 (correct!) 85 %
Wet 86–93 %
Wet incl. motor heat 88–95 %
Annual energy incl. motor heat 92–97 %
