Wide applications gas cooling and condensation plate heat exchanger
Funke FP/FPS Series FP10
FP10 Plate Heat Exchanger Introduction
The PHE consists of a pack with linked up embossed plates with
passage openings. Every second plate is staggered by 180°, creating
a fl ow gap in each case. All plates are provided with gaskets,
which completely seal the various fl ow gaps from the outside and
separate the second media involved in heat exchange.
The plate pack is mounted in a rack and is pressed between the fi
xed plate and pressure plate by means of clamping bolts.
Warm and cold media are normally led through the PHE in one-pass or
multipass counterfl ows in order to guarantee a maximum heat
transfer.
Connections are on the fi xed plate, in case of multi-pass fl ow
they can also be on the pressure plate.

MC heat transfer plates are always produced in 1.4401/ AISI 316L as
this material is generally more corrosion-resistant and more
resistant to chloride damage than 1.4301/AISI 304. Depending on the
design, titanium is also available in serial production.
As an option, the following additional materials may be used:
• 1.4301/AISI 304 (cost-effective in the case of uncritical media)
• 1.4539/AISI 904L (with high nickel content against stress
corrosion cracking, good price/performance ratio in the case of
media with a low acid and chloride content)
• 1.4529/254 SMO (higher chloride and acid-resistance than
1.4401/AISI 316L)
• Hastelloy (highly resistant against acids and chlorides, e.g. for
concentrated sulphuric acid)
• Titanium ASTM B 265
• Titanium-Palladium (highest material quality, suitable e.g. for
chlorides at higher temperatures)
All gaskets are installed twice in the entry and exit area,
creating a safety room which is open to the outside.
It prevents the two media from mixing if the gasket leaks.
Depending on the design and the type, adhesive or non-adhesive
(Clip-System) gaskets may be used.
As sealing materials, we use well-known and tried and tested
materials such as
• NBR (nitrile-butadiene rubber): Universal use for aque- ous and
unctuous media e. g. water/oil applications
• EPDM (ethylene-propylene rubber): Wide range of applications for
many chemical compounds which do not contain mineral oil and
grease, and for water- and steam application
• Fluororubber (Viton): Extremely resistant to chemicals and
organic solvents as well as sulphuric acid and vegetable oils at
high temperatures.
Lifetime partnership – our service for your PHE
The design and the high quality standards of MC plate heat
exchangers keep the amount of maintenance work to a minimum,
provided that the conditions of use for which the PHE has been
designed are adhered to. However, during service life, the gaskets
of a PHE are subject to a normal fatigue process.
Depending on the conditions of use, the plate pack can be tightened
several times until “PP“-min. is reached. Once the plates are
provided with new gaskets, the PHE can return to its full capacity.
Normally, maintenance and servicing can be carried out by
adequately trained personnel of the operator. If necessary, contact
our local service technicians or service partners who can provide
the services specifi ed in the adjacent list.
Our service offers for your PHE
• cleaning service: CIP (Cleaning in Place) or mechanical cleaning
on site or chemical cleaning (immersion bath) at the factory
• on request, CIP systems (incl. the required cleaning chemicals)
can be provided by MC
• provision of plates with new gaskets: always includes cleaning,
optional hair crack test
• spare parts service: supply of original parts throughout the
world
• overhaul of complete devices
• subsequent performance optimization: extension of plate
pack/modifi cation of plate confi guration.
