thermo PLUS^® - High Pressure Range

Semi-Welded Plates for High Pressure Applications

The thermo PLUS^® range has been specifically developed to offer outstanding efficiency in high pressure applications with natural refrigerants, such as CO2 and NH3. These specialist plate products consist of laser welded modules and can be used for any industrial cooling processes requiring low evaporating temperatures. Special gaskets, developed for this very application, are not only resistant against the media flowing in the heat exchanger, but also ensure the tightness of the plate heat exchanger and plant safety.

Thanks to its flexible construction, taking care of pressure and temperature changes, the Thermo PLUS^® can be used for applications with a big demand of heat recovery and energy saving.

Description of Plate Heat Exchanger

thermowave thermo PLUS^® plate heat exchangers consist of a number of Modules (welded plate pairs) mounted between a fixed and a movable pressure plate, positioned by an upper and a lower carrying bar, and compressed by external tightening bolts. Semi-Welded plates are available with various patterns to suit a wide range of applications.

The Semi-Welded 'Modules' are constructed from two channel plates which are laser welded together along the gaskets groove and port area thereby reducing the gasket requirement to just two port O-Rings. The laser welded seam is resistant to both high levels of static pressure and reasonable changes in system pressure.

The two fluid media pass through the plate heat exchanger in either co-current or counter-current flow depending on the application, and subject to the actual operating conditions, standard 'Glue Free' gaskets will be supplied and fitted unless a specific thermal duty requires a 'glued-on' solution. Guntner UK provide genuine Thermowave replacement gaskets and spare plate packs plus a full technical support service.
