Plate Heat Exchanger

Product catalog summary
Overview: FUNKE specializes in developing and manufacturing Plate Heat Exchangers (PHE) for industrial applications such as heating, air-conditioning, and ventilation. Their products are recognized for high efficiency and customer-focused solutions, with a significant portion of sales to long-term customers.
Product Range: The company offers a variety of heat exchangers, including brazed and bolted plate heat exchangers, shell and tube heat exchangers, oil/air coolers, and electrical oil preheaters. Their PHEs feature an 'off-set' system with asymmetrical flow gaps, improving performance by up to 17% over conventional models.
Advantages: FUNKE PHEs provide benefits such as low costs, high heat transfer efficiency, space-saving design, self-cleaning effects, and easy maintenance. They accommodate a wide range of capacities and operating conditions, with specific models for safety, aggressive media, and liquids with suspended solids.
Technical Specifications: Available in various series tailored for specific applications, FUNKE PHEs offer a range of capacities, volume flows, and surface areas, with operating temperatures from -20°C to +180°C and pressures up to 25 bar.
Design and Function: The PHE design includes a pack of embossed plates with gaskets to seal flow gaps and separate media. Plates are mounted in a rack and clamped between fixed and pressure plates, allowing for single or multi-pass counterflows to maximize heat transfer.
Materials and Gaskets: FUNKE uses corrosion-resistant materials like AISI 316 for heat transfer plates, with options for titanium and other alloys. Gaskets are available in materials such as NBR, EPDM, and Viton to suit different media and conditions.
Accessories and Customization: Optional accessories include insulations, inline filters, special coatings, and CIP cleaning systems. Customized solutions with alternative materials and designs are also offered.
Quality and Certification: Quality is ensured through rigorous testing and certifications, including ISO 9001 and ASME U-Stamp, adhering to international standards and customer-specific requirements.
Service and Maintenance: Comprehensive service options include cleaning, gasket replacement, spare parts, and performance optimization, emphasizing the importance of accurate design data for optimal PHE performance.

Set-up and function ofFUNKE PHE Design of a Plate Heat Exchanger The PHE consists of a pack with linkedup embossed plates with passage openings. Every second plate is stag-gered by 180 , creating a flow gap ineach case. All plates are provided with gaskets, which completely seal the various flow gaps from the outside andseparate the second media involvedin heat exchange. The plate pack is mounted in a rackand is pressed between the fixed plateand pressure plate by means of clamping bolts.Warm and cold media are normally ledthrough the PHE in one-pass or multi- pass counterflows in order to guarantee...
