Request Specs
High pressure, high temperature, fouling-tolerant.
Compact, no gaskets, ideal for refrigeration and HVAC.
Optimized air-side heat transfer for condensers and coolers.
Zero water consumption, suitable for remote sites.
Sustainability in heat exchange starts at the design stage — selecting materials, optimizing plate geometry, and specifying counter-flow configurations that minimize energy input per kilowatt of thermal transfer.
Environmental management system across all production sites.
Up to 95% thermal energy recovery in counter-flow configurations.
Over 85% of equipment mass from recyclable stainless steel and copper.
Exchangers designed for R-290, R-744, and other natural refrigerants.
Long-term partnerships built on reliable equipment and responsive service.
"When we retrofitted 14 pasteurization lines at our Schleswig-Holstein facility in 2021, GEA HeatWorks plate exchangers replaced aging tubular units that had been in service since 2008. The result was a 31% reduction in steam consumption for pasteurization — measured over 12 months of production data — and approach temperatures consistently within 2K of the 3K design target."

"For a chlor-alkali cooling project at our Rayong, Thailand plant in 2019, the engineering team specified Grade 2 titanium shell-and-tube exchangers rated at 16 bar with seawater on the shell side. After 6 years of continuous operation — including two monsoon seasons with elevated chloride levels — zero corrosion-related downtime has been recorded."

"In Q3 2022, the GEA HeatWorks team redesigned our 2.4 MW data center cooling loop in Ashburn, Virginia from a single large brazed plate exchanger to three 900 kW modular units with N+1 redundancy. Since commissioning, zero unplanned thermal events — and free cooling hours increased by 18% due to the lower approach temperature of the new units."
