FUNKE Plate Heat Exchangers

Why Choose FUNKE Plate Heat Exchangers

FUNKE Plate Heat Exchangers stand out in the market due to their sophisticated range of products tailored to almost any requirement in mechanical and plant engineering.

FUNKE’s unique ‘Off-Set’ system with asymmetrical flow gaps creates highly efficient and cost-effective devices, whose performance per area can be up to 17% higher than conventional plate heat exchangers.

Applications of FUNKE Heat Exchangers

FUNKE Heat Exchangers are widely used for energy recovery, cooling and heating products, creating/condensing steam, and controlling product temperature.

These devices find applications in a myriad of industries including but not limited to, HVAC, chemical, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

FUNKE Heat Exchanger Technology

FUNKE offers two major types of heat exchangers: Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers and Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers. The Gasketed variants consist of adjoining embossed plates assembled at a 180° angle to each other, forming a flow gap. The Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers, on the other hand, are recognized for their high heat transfer performance and low-pressure losses due to the optimised corrugation of the embossed stainless steel plates and special insert turbulence plates.
