Applications

While our PHE Units can be used in a variety of industries, they are most commonly utilized in residential and commercial HVAC applications.

Since introduction to the market in May of 2003, SmartHeat's PHE Units have been used extensively to reduce energy loss and maintain even distribution of heating and cooling systems throughout China's residential communities. By utilizing SmartHeat's PHE Units, a number of communities can be connected with the power source in a circular loop to reduce energy generally lost in transfer as shown in the example below:

Traditional distribution without PHEs	SmartHeat distribution utilizing PHEs
Energy loss 40-50%	Energy loss < 30%

In contrast with traditional HVAC systems, which employs a central boiler at each community achieving distribution efficiency of only 45-50%, SmartHeat's PHE Units and linked systems provide close to 90% transfer and can make a significant contribution to reducing energy bills and waste, which is not only good for your wallet but also for the environment.

Other industry applications include:
