Concitherm Plate Heat Exchangers
The large evaporator plate
Concitherm stands for an efficient and true free flow plate heat exchanger
with the highest performance. Optimised plate design enables wide flow
gaps with few contact points even with 3 m2 per laser-welded cassettes. Low
pressure losses in the heat exchanger avoid an intermediate pump, hence
reduce installation and operational costs. Furthermore, in comparison to
conventional tube evaporators, Concitherm offers an almost 100% higher
heat transfer coefficient. Concitherm plate evaporators can serve as
boosters to conventional evaporators as well as in stand-alone
applications.
