thermoline® Plate Technology
Generically known as 'PHEs'; Thermowave brand Plate Heat Exchangers from Guntner UK are available in both 'Semi-Welded' and standard 'Gasketed' formats. Typical duty applications include Liquid to Liquid (Heating/Cooling), Vapour Condensing (Steam, Refrigerants, and High Pressure CO2), Refrigerant Evaporators (Flooded Ammonia and DX systems), close temperature heat recovery of low grade waste heat, and renewable energy such as Heat Pumps and Geothermal systems.
The ongoing success of thermoline® PHE plate technology from Thermowave lies in the plate corrugation designs, which are optimised to suit a broad range of industrial applications. Plates with different pressing patterns can be combined together such that high heat transfer coefficients are achieved within the constraints of the allowable pressure loss in the system.
The main benefit of Thermowave Plate Heat Exchangers over other forms of heat exchanger such as Shell & Tube designs is the ability to work with a very close temperature approach down to 1℃ when operated in 'Counter-Current' flow. This feature offers significant benefits for close temperature control of food products and high efficiency for energy saving in Free Cooling and Waste Heat Recovery applications.
More recently, specialist high pressure frames have been introduced to meet the exacting demands of the latest CO2 refrigeration systems to facilitate duties such as a cascade interface between Ammonia primary and CO2 secondary circuits.

TL thermoline® M - Semi-Welded Range
The TL M Semi-Welded range offers state of the art Laser Welded plate technology combining the secure features of a fully welded heat exchanger with the flexibility of a gasketed plate for cleaning, maintenance, and future duty upgrades.
The Semi-Welded Modules consist of 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.

Thermo PLUS® High Pressure Range
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.
