“Off-Set”- embossing for highest efficiency

All plate heat exchangers look very similar at first glance. But the
difference and the secret of efficient heat transfer cannot be seen
from the outside – it is the wave pattern. Its performance depends
on many factors, including size and number of plates.
Altogether, these factors determine the size of the plate heat
exchangers and the operating costs. A crucial factor e.g. is that
plates with different plate cor- rugation angles (in relation to the FUNKE plate heat exchangers offer more advantages by
flow direction) can be combined. Obtuse corrugation angles combining different plate corrugations- with the unique “Off-

but also lead to higher pressure drops. Acute corrugation (L) Therefore, the cross-sectional areas of the warm and the cold
angles are chosen if the pressure drop must be kept low. side of the PHE can approximately be one third larger or
smaller (see pictures and graphics below).

“Off-Set” profile

“Thermally short” (L)

“Sinus” profile

“Thermally long” (H)

With the sophisticated “ Off-Set” profile our customers benefit from an additional tool for providing cost-effective PHE solutions.
An oil cooler, for example, is significantly smaller and cheaper if the volume flow on the cooling water side can be much larger.
Therefore, up to 17 per cent less exchange surface is required compared to conventional symmetrical plates. The configuration of the plate
pack is always calculated using state-of-the-art design software, whether symmetrical or asymmetrical. So, FUNKE always aims to find
the most efficient and cost effective solution for the customer.

In this design special media, such as ammonia in cooling
applications, flows through welded plate pairs. On the wa- ter
side between the cassettes, specially designed gaskets are used.

Technical data Plate material
As standard, FUNKE heat transfer plates are produced in
 1.4404 / AISI 316L. Due to the high content in molybdenum, this
material is generally more corrosion-resistant and more resistant to
chloride damage than 1.4301 / AISI 304.
Accessories
Optionally, the following additional materials may be used: Optionally, we equip your plate heat exchanger with the fol- lowing

Lifetime partnership
– our service for your PHE
The design and the high quality standards of FUNKE plate heat
exchangers aim to keep maintenance work to a
minimum, provided that the conditions of use the PHE has been
designed for 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 the lower limit ‘PP-min.’ is
reached, at this time gaskets need replace- ment. Normally,
maintenance and servicing can be carried out by adequately
trained personnel of the operator. If you need help, contact our
local service technicians or service partners who will provide the
services as follows:

Our service proposal for your PHE

• cleaning service: CIP (Cleaning in Place) or mechanical
cleaning on site or chemical cleaning (immersion bath) at the
factory
• on request, complete CIP systems (incl. the required
cleaning chemicals) can be provided by FUNKE
• replacing gaskets: this always includes cleaning of plates; crack
test is optional
• spare parts service: supply of original parts throughout the
world
• overhaul of complete unit
• future supplementary performance optimization: exten- sion
of plate pack / change in plate configuration

Required data for the best PHE design

The desired performance of the PHE can be achieved by very
different configurations. With precise knowledge of all process
conditions we can offer our customers the most efficient and
cost-effective PHE.

Required data can be found on our quotation questionnaire at our

website. If you require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact
us. We will be pleased to assist you.
