Thinking of air to air heat exchanger for cooker hood, anyone got experience of cleaning the twin wall plastic signage type of heat exchanger in this application? |

If you don't really cook a recirculating range hood may be an acceptable solution, but I personally loathe them. Recirculating Range Hoods |

![]() Came across a Utube vid by Tom Heylen 'DIY air heat exchanger - PVC pipe and soda cans' who has built very much what I was thinking of designing. VERY lo-tech, affordable design. With a 35' basement ceiling run I have it should have provide a fairly HE counterflow heat recovery and larger air flow volume It should be much harder to frost plug.

![]() That is a very cool design! I really like the idea of using straws as they are so thin.

![]() On Marsden's unit, air was brought in, then the fans reversed, and inside air went out through the same unit.
We have seen other units that use a similar principle using mechanical reversing. The idea is producing very high COPs. -AC
