Heat recovery systems
A heat recovery system can yield considerable savings in two main ways: via a heat exchanger or by recovering the heat from the chiller circuit.
The first is to use a cross plate heat exchanger to recover the heat from the setter room’s exhaust air and use it to warm up the incoming air.

The second is to recover the heat from the hot water side of the chiller – for hatcheries that employ water cooling with a chiller system – and use it to pre-heat the incoming air in the air conditioning unit.
