FUNKE is a leader in the development and production of quality heat exchangers with a heat transfer area of up to 2 000 m². For different industries and virtually all applications solutions with optimum thermodynamic designs are offered. FUNKE focuses on customer orientation, highest quality standards, flexibility and advisory skills – important benefits a company of just the right size is able to offer.
Construction
GPLK is made of corrugated stainless steel plates. The plates are assembled in a 180° angle to each other. Depending on the requirements of the application, the plates are vacuum brazed using either copper or nickel (NPLK). This results in separate flow gaps with counter-flow of the media involved in the heat exchange (standard).
Advantages
FUNKE brazed plate heat exchangers GPLK are used in most industries and domestic applications.
GPLK has a well balanced ratio of high heat transfer rates with low pressure losses. The thermodynamic optimized corrugation of the embossed plates allows for high turbulent flow even at low volumetric flow rates. This allows for efficient use of the heat exchange area available and leads to a perfectly optimized heat
transfer. The high turbulent flow also results in an efficient self-cleaning effect, which greatly reduces maintenance and time-out. GPLK have a compact design and are used for high pressures and temperatures.
Applications
Typical applications for brazed plate heat exchangers GPLK are heating, cooling, condensing • System separation • Heat extraction and heat recovery in domestic and process technology • Refrigeration engineering • Mechanical engineering • Oil cooling • Hot water / Process water • Heating engineering (solar thermal systems, central heating, floor heating) • Evaporation / Condensing in cooling systems • Air drying • Hydraulic oil cooling • Cooling of machines and motors • Mold machine temperature control • Economizing
Media
Copper brazed plate heat exchangers GPLK are mainly used for media such as • Oil and oil containing fluids • Glycol mixtures • Alcohols • Refrigerants • Gas / Air • Water • many more (according to media properties and its viscosity)
Information
Copper brazed plate heat exchangers GPLK should not be used for the following media: • Seawater • Ammonia • Deionates • Silicone oils • high chloride media For applications with • Ammonia • Deionates • Silicone oils the nickel brazed plate heat exchangers NPLK are recommended.
Application conditions
Operating pressure and operating temperature • The BPHE GPLK is designed for a working pressure up to 30 bar / 435 psi at max. 200°C / 392°F. • In special designs, GPLK can work with up to 45 bar / 653 psi at 150°C / 302°F. • The NPLK (nickel brazed) can be operated at 10 bar / 145 psi at 150°C / 302°F. • In special designs, NPLK can be operated at up to 30 bar / 435 psi at 150°C / 302°F.
Performance
2.0 to 6 000 kW / 6 824 Btu to 20.5 MBtu.
Material
For the plates stainless steel AISI 316 / 1.4401 is used.
