HRS Funke Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger
HRS Process Systems Ltd. have acquired exclusive rights by the way of a license manufacturing agreement for the design, manufacture, supply and service of Plate Heat Exchanger, with FUNKE Waermaustauscher GmbH!
The plate-type heat exchanger comprises a plate pack mounted between fixed and pressure plates compressed with tightening bolts. Depending on the process requirement, variations in the passes can be designed to enable counterflow. This makes the gasketed plate heat exchanger a highly efficient heat exchanger type for many liquid-liquid applications such as water, oil, suspensions, chemicals, infusions, milk, juices, beverages, etc. For applications in the food industry, we offer specially developed CLADDED plate heat exchangers to ensure the safe processing of sensitive fluids.
Technology
All plate type heat exchangers look very similar at first glance. But the difference and the secret of efficient heat transfer cannot be seen from the outside it is the wave pattern. Its performance depends on many factors, including size and number of plates. Altogether, these factors determine the size of the plate heat exchangers and the operating costs.
A crucial factor e.g. is that plates with different plate corrugation angles (in relation to the flow direction) can be combined. Obtuse corrugation angles result in longer thermal paths (H) and higher heat transfer rates but also lead to higher pressure drops. Acute corrugation (L) angles are chosen if the pressure drop must be kept low.
