GEA compact heat exchangers at ISH 2015

Bochum (Germany), March 12, 2015 – GEA compact finned-tube heat exchangers – with three available
fin systems; various fin profiles, thicknesses, and subdivisions; as well as various materials and
additional characteristics – can be optimally employed for almost any industrial process. The highly
versatile technology implemented in these heat exchangers serves for the efficient transfer of thermal
energy. With the various possible fin profiles available, these heat exchangers can be effectively applied
wherever heat transport is desired: for example, as heating or cooling banks in ventilation units, in air
heat pumps, as well as in dryer units – and they can be profitably used to exhaust heat in mining and in
cooling processes in heavy industry. They serve as coolers, heaters, evaporators, condensers, or in
powertubes. In each of their application processes, they assure the right operating temperature and
likewise play a key role in heat recovery.

The GEA compact heat exchangers required for effective heat recovery can be delivered with three
different fin systems, in various corrosion classes, forms, and lengths, on the basis of individual output
and capacity values. The following materials are used: aluminum, copper, aluminum with epoxy coating,
and AlmG2.5 with epoxy coating. Beginning with a fin thickness of 0.18 mm, the fins can function without
difficulty up to temperatures of more than 110 °C.

Optional features include condensation-water drip trays and droplet collectors, which can be either
integrated or separately installed. Immersion-bath coating with various materials (e.g., SÄKAPHEN®)
assures rugged corrosion protection. Upon request, GEA supplies compact heat exchangers that are
rated at pressures up to 10 kPa – under the conditions that the end plates are cast with Helmoxin and
that an airtight frame is installed over headers and pipe bends.
