Series HE-180 Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger

VQ-HE180

Heat exchanger, surface 0.2 to 26 m², duty 5 kW to 900 kW.

SURFACE
0.2 to 26 m²
DUTY
5 kW to 900 kW
DESIGN PRESSURE
30 bar
TEMPERATURE
-40 to +200 °C

Why it is specified

Quoted against a thermal calculation rather than against an area. The pressure drop on both sides and the fouling allowance that was assumed come with the price, because the assumption is what the argument is usually about.

Typical applications

  • District heating substations
  • Glycol loop interchange
  • Heat recovery between streams
  • Process cooling with tower water

Options and executions

  • Duplex plates for chloride-bearing water
  • Insulation and cladding
  • Spare gasket set with the order
  • Thermal calculation issued with the quotation
