Heat recovery at its best

GEA PHE Systems has been supplying plate heat exchangers for diesel engine and gas turbine cooling for many years. With the aid of our products, waste heat from the diesel engines is also used for heating purposes or for refrigeration. An increasing number of power stations use our plate heat exchangers because of their technically perfected, safe and cost-efficient solutions, including the cooling of turbine oil.

Smaller and better

In the past, there were no alternatives to shell and tube heat exchangers (S&T). However, thanks to continuous innovation, GEA PHE Systems has given the plate heat exchanger principle a new technical advantage. Modern plate heat exchangers can replace S&T in almost all areas of energy production. This will give you the following advantages:

• reduced investment and installation costs
• simple installation and servicing
• up to 80% saving on space compared with a S&T of the same performance
• higher performance and heat recovery efficiency
• high flexibility through simple performance adaptation to changing requirements
• compact design, enabling plate heat exchanger integration into assemblies
• lower operating weight

The highly developed EcoFlex - gasketed plate heat exchangers - from GEA PHE Systems can cope with pressures of up to 25 bar and temperatures of up to 180°C in almost all areas of applications.

The right spin

A variety of circumstances will dictate whether turbines, diesel or gas engines are the right option in your power plant. Whatever you decide, plate heat exchangers from GEA PHE Systems will provide precise and efficient heat transfer and ensure the optimal operation of your units.

Safe turbine operation requires consistent cooling of bearings, lubricants and rotor blades. An optimal degree of primary energy use can only be achieved by extracting surplus heat for secondary use. GEA PHE Systems plate heat exchangers provide a high degree of system efficiency in this respect.

Modern diesel and gas engines reach very high levels of performance, efficiency and stability while maintaining a low emission output. To achieve this top performance, the engines must run at the correct operating condition. When it comes to temperature management via plate heat exchangers, many manufacturers trust the know-how and quality of GEA PHE Systems.
