XinStar Heatpipe for AHU & FCU

Buildings in humid climates always in risks to the negative effects related to high humidity problems. These problems are mainly due to mold and fungus that affected the products, human and the buildings.

XinStar heatpipes is a simple piece of equipment and yet has significant values that facilitate the ACMV designers to solve the issues related to high humidity problems in many buildings.

Building that required excessive fresh air intake such as hospitals, labs, and hotels should used heatpipes in its AHU to its beneficial. Others are buildings that have high occupancy and required high fresh air in-take like auditoriums, casinos, cinemas, airports, MRT stations and call centers.

Heatpipes should also be in specific purposes buildings like libraries, museums, archives and manufacturing plants that required a lower relative humidity.

XinStar heatpipes has the following features and advantages:

Design Features
 

•Totally passive system - no energy input required

•No moving part – no maintenance required

•Long lasting – no wear and tear

•Installed inside AHU – no plant room space required.

•Stand-alone unit. Easy to install inside AHU

•Uses no pumps or any other mechanical devices

•Operates without interference of AHU circuiting

 Benefits:

•Significant energy savings due to passive pre-cooling and reheat in Humidity Control applications

•Downsizing the equipments and lower chilled water consumption is possible due to passive pre-cooling and reheat.

•Able to facilitate increase moisture removal by cooling coil in dehumification AHU

•Dryer supply air will prevent mold and fungus in the plenums and ducts because the relative humidity is reduce from about 100% when leaving the cooling coil to about

•70% when free reheat by the Heatpipe Reheat Coil.

•Short Return Of Investment (ROI) period. Investment is justified.

•Facilitate to earn valuable points in Green Building rating system like GBI, Leed,BCI,
etc.

Heatpipe materials for corrosion prevention
Generally, our heatpipe is manufactured using aluminium fins to the welded copper tubes. Upon request, we can produce heatpipe that comes with different type of materials and coating for application that exposed to corrosive conditions.
Our expertise and experiences is valuable in assisting clients in selecting the appropriate corrosion prevention materials and coatings for their application and operating environment.

Heatpipe with Heresite coating
Heresite protective coatings is one of the method that used in heatpipe for corrosion prevention. This formulated coating offer excellent durability, good adhesion with simple cleaning.

​

Heatpipe with copper fins, gold fins and blue fins
Hydrophilic technology has enable different type of coated fins available as coil materials for our heatpipe. These are 100% eco-friendly and non-toxic to the Mother Earth.
This technology is commonly used to protect the coil from the accumulation of water, salt and acid on its surface. Thus, prevent corrosion and enhance the long life of the heatpipe.
