Transferring heat. Concentrating surface.

The shape of the fins distributes the gas or air flow across the heating surface. The image shows the original plate geometry; it is not a flow simulation.

Modular in structure. Individually designed.

Material, media and structure determine the specific design.

From plates to blocks

The individual finned plates are bolted together into pockets and then joined to form blocks. A seal lies between the pockets.

For gaseous media

Suitable for air, hydrogen, natural gas, oxygen and exhaust gases from combustion processes. Suitability is checked for the specific application.

Designed for the plant

Standardised finned plates and a modular structure allow different arrangements. Every heat exchanger is designed individually.

The technology in detail.

Pocket made of two bolted finned plates

Finned plate heat exchanger

Modular cast-iron heat exchanger for gaseous media.

Material
Cast iron
Heating surface density
Up to 68 m²/m³
Heat-emitting medium
Max. 680 °C
Heat-absorbing medium
Max. 480 °C
Structure
Finned plates → pockets → blocks

The structure is self-supporting and built from standardised finned plates. The shape and arrangement of the fins combine a concentrated heating surface with a small footprint.

Cast iron resists corrosion and erosion and conducts heat well. No general service life or freedom from maintenance is promised here.

Cleaning is automatic, using soot blowers or water washing rakes. Which version is suitable depends on the specific plant and the media.

Prepare a technical inquiry

Which data helps with system design?

Useful data includes flue gas and air flow rates, inlet and outlet temperatures, operating pressure and allowable pressure losses. Where known, describe flue gas composition, dew point and available installation space.

Can I inquire without complete design data?

Yes. Technical checklist fields are optional: provide the data you already know and leave outstanding points for further discussion.
