GEA PHE Systems' new plate heat exchangers

GEA PHE Systems, a manufacturer in plate heat exchanger technology, is exhibiting no less than three innovations at this year's ISH in Frankfurt from 10th to 14th March. The exhibition highlight is the new fast-assembly line which has reduced the delivery time for certain gasketed plate heat exchanger ranges for the HVAC sector to 7 days – and that is certainly a first. GEA PHE Systems is also presenting three new model ranges in its successful copper-brazed GB Series for heating engineering applications: The GBH, GBS and GBE ranges all feature improved heat transfer thanks to optimised plate corrugation.

The new GBH and GBS ranges are available in eleven model sizes up to a maximum flow rate of 160 m³/h in the large-scale units GBH 1000 and GBS 1000. The economy series GBE can be supplied in four model sizes. Depending on the unit size the number of plates varies between 10 and 360 (in the GBH/GBS 1000). The optimised plate corrugation results in a further increase in heat transfer rates. The plate material used is the special steel grade AISI 316/1.4401.

Like all larger-sized brazed plate heat exchangers by GEA PHE Systems the new GB ranges are also fitted with the patented Safety Chamber. This chamber absorbs any overloading caused by fluctuations in pressure and temperature exerted on the first brazing points in the nozzle area, thus preventing any internal leakage. When used as evaporators GEA PHE Systems' own Full-Flow-System guarantees optimum flow around the nozzles to prevent any freezing of the flow channels. This guarantees operational reliability in your processes.

The technical specifications together with the high pressure and temperature limits allow the GBE, GBS and GBH ranges to be used for a wide field of applications: As evaporators in refrigeration plants, as economizers or supercoolers in process cooling, in heat pumps, district heating transfer stations and in domestic engineering and solar technology.
