Energy costs and the need to reduce peak energy demand, certifying the performance of air conditioning, heating, ventilation and commercial refrigeration equipment is critical.
GPX models have higher surface area to volume ratios than conventional shell and tube heat exchangers.
GPX offer superior heat transfer coefficients compared to shell and tube heat exchangers.
GPX offers “true” countercurrent flow, which maximizes the mean temperature difference between fluids.
