XeteX has supplied aluminum and stainless steel flat plate exchangers made in the USA to a large variety of applications ranging from 100,000 CFM indirect evaporative coolers to 50 CFM residential ventilators and 12,000 CFM high temperature process to 4,000 CFM precooler/reheaters.
XeteX has installed a complete research laboratory and test facility fully instrumented to comply with ASHRAE standard 84-1991, "Method of Testing Air-to-Air Heat Exchangers." Performance tests on Heat-X-Changers by XeteX are documented by an independent test laboratory.
And XeteX continues to contribute to industry development by serving on the technical committee of air-to-air heat exchangers at the American Society of Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and contributing directly to writing and illustrations for ASHRAE technical publications.
XeTeX on Linux depends on an extended version of the DVIPDFMx driver by Shunsaku Hirata and Jin-Hwan Cho to generate PDF output.
XeTeX includes modified versions of some of these, so that they work under both traditional TeX and XeTeX, but this work is not complete for all the hyphenation languages; therefore, the creation of xelatex.fmt may fail, depending on language configuration.
