GEA has released a new plate heat exchanger known as the ConBraze.
It is a new development for highly efficient heat pumps and refrigeration systems.
The brazed GEA ConBraze is designed for use as an evaporator, economizer, or condenser with the refrigerants R410a or CO2.
The ConBraze was developed on the basis of the proven 500 Range, but essentially differs from this range by its innovative plate design.
In comparison to previous heat exchangers, this new model features a more compact design, requires less material, needs a smaller filling amount of refrigerant, and therefore offers a cost advantage over conventional heat exchangers.
The hydraulically optimized channel geometry and the optimally adjusted asymmetry relationships enable the GEA ConBraze to achieve the best-possible optimal heat exchange with optimal flow relationships.
Thanks to its adjustable channel geometry, it is possible to optimally match the heat exchanger to plant layout.
It is being launched initially in a version for a maximum of 45 bar system pressure.
GEA will proceed from this starting point and take advantage of the ConBraze for further design developments in asymmetrical areas of operation.
