Most wanted: Our Hybrid plate heat exchanger

At the end of the year we are delighted about the high demand we have received for our fully welded hybrid tubular and standard plate heat exchangers. On behalf of a wide variety of companies, we (did) manufacture a vacuum condenser, a heating condenser, two preheaters and steam converters each, several plate packages for a retrofit of an existing plant, and received a follow-up order for four of our latest fully welded plate heat exchangers - the VAU COMPEX. This variety shows once again how versatile our fully welded hybrid tubular and standard plate heat exchangers are.

New heat condensers for municipal utilities

After a construction period of three months, two new heat condensers have been shipped to a power plant in Augsburg (Bavaria). Each apparatus weighs 4.6 tons, has a heating area of 203 sqm and 24,000 kW power. As a heating element a fully welded hybrid tubular plate heat exchanger is used. Steam at a temperature of 160 °C is fed to the primary side, where it cools down to around 90 °C. Water is guided through the secondary side via cross-flow process and heats from 65 to 130 °C.

VAU Thermotech is investing six-figure amount in the expansion of quality assurance

With the new pressure and leak test facility for our brazed plate heat exchangers, we are increasing production efficiency, at the same time increasing quality assurance and making it easier for our customers and ourselves to trace our products. The new device has two test chambers operated alternately. While the analysis of one device is still in progress, the second can be removed immediately after the test and replaced with a device that is still to be tested. In this way it is possible to roughly quadruple the test cycle.

Hybrid Heat Exchanger grants CO2 reduction

Four fully welded Hybrid heat exchangers for a fermentation residue evaporation plant of an East German manufacturer of biofuels were certified by TÜV Süd inspectors. Our plate heat exchangers are compliant with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED - 2014/68/EU). Usually, fermentation residues still contain a high amount of water which will be squeezed by our fully welded Hybrid heat exchangers. With the support of our heat exchangers these fermentation residues are made usable for a further processing stage. The result: additional CO2 reduction and a better energy balance. A special feature of this construction are the removable covers for cleaning purposes.
