GEA PHE Systems is presenting its GEASkid plate heat exchanger model for the processing industry at the Power-Gen in Milan

The GEASkid was specially developed to meet the safety requirements in power stations and its strengths come to the fore in lubricating oil cooling. The module is fitted with two identical high-performance gasketed plate heat exchangers from the NT Series that are installed in a space-saving way on a single frame. The space requirements are considerably reduced in comparison with shell-and-tube heat exchangers, offering sustainable minimization of installation and maintenance costs.

Only a single unit is required to provide reliable turbine cooling. If one plate heat exchanger fails or has to be serviced, then you can immediately switch over to the stand-by heat exchanger without having to interrupt the cooling cycle. This guarantees 100 percent process reliability.

The NT Series is fitted with glueless EcoLoc gaskets that can be replaced quickly and easily. Thanks to the PosLoc system the plate heat exchanger has a self-centring plate pack to guarantee perfect fit of the plates and gaskets and ensure excellent process reliability.

The GEASkid module is designed in accordance with the individually required configuration. Thermometers and pressure gauges can be integrated.

The GEA common stand, in addition to the GEASkid, will also see GEA PHE Systems exhibiting the fully welded GEABloc high-performance plate heat exchanger for the processing industry. In spite of its fully welded plate pack this PHE can be opened up to enable easy maintenance and cleaning. The plates are available in two different corrugation designs, with the herringbone pattern enabling efficient heat transfer and the dimple pattern being the first choice for highly viscous media. These units provide good heat recovery rates, have extremely low space requirements and also offer the possibility of easy cleaning.
