Welded plate heat exchanger 

Fully welded - but adaptable at any time

GEABloc combines two different plate corrugations in an innovative way. The plates are rotated through 90° to one another and then welded together to produce two different cross-flow channels. The frame is made of four pillars, a bottom plate and a top plate together with four side pressure plates, and connections mounted in the pressure plates. All frame components are bolted together for easily dismantling to clean and maintain the plate pack.

GEABloc is available in various corrugation designs and sizes for a wide range of applications. Adjustable deflectors allow the heat exchanger to be adapted to its operating points delivering these features:

    Max. operating temperature 315° C, on both sides
    Max. operating pressure 32 bars, on both sides
    Material 1.4404, SMO, Titanium, etc.
    Surface area 1–320m²
    Connection diameter DN50–DN400
    Max. flow rate 3,860m³/h
    Corrugation patterns: Herring-bone, Dimple


This PHE is generally used in the oil and gas industry, in petrochemical and chemical applications, in the automobile and pharmaceuticals industry, as well as in paper manufacturing.
