Abstract
This pressure exchanger has an at least single-series cellular wheel arranged on a central axis and equipped with cells. These cells interact in a specific time sequence on the one hand with a hot-gas guide housing and on the other hand with an air guide housing. A pressure enchanger having an increased flushing energy is to be provided. This is achieved in that the cells each have a longitudinal axis which intersects the central axis at an angle. Moreover, the faces of the hot-gas guide housing and air guide housing confronting the cellular wheel extend parallel to the corresponding faces of the cellular wheel.
