Editorial summary
A quasi-counter-flow membrane energy exchanger is modelled and experimentally evaluated for coupled heat and moisture transfer. The paper resolves local flow and transfer fields and finds performance between conventional cross-flow and counter-flow designs; FLEC enters only through an externally measured vapour-transport parameter cited from earlier work.

FLEC use
FLEC mention, comparison or reference
The article notes that a vapour diffusivity used in the model had been measured in a FLEC in prior work. The current exchanger study does not conduct FLEC measurements.
