Opposed to brazed and gasketed plate heat exchangers mainly used in heating and refrigeration, the VAU-Bloc uses neither copper solder nor gaskets. Therefore the VAU-Bloc can be used at very high temperature or in corrosive media. The VAU-Bloc with its compact dimensions delivers high heat transfer performance and low pressure loss.Corrosion resistant material – as long as it displays good forming and welding procedures – can be used. The fl ow-channels can be cleaned by water-, air- and steam-jet as well as chemical agents. As it is divided into several fl ow paths (cross counter current) the VAU-Bloc can adapt to a diversity of tasks. FEATURES & APPLICATIONS The fl ow connectors are not located on the heat exchange plate, as is the case with common models. Instead, they are welded onto the removable cover plates. The nozzle-size therefore only depends on the width of the unit, the height of the stack or the desired number of fl ow passes.The different plate structures, plate sizes, the varying amount of plates as well as the amount of fl ow passes allow for customization of the clear fl ow cross-section and fl ow length according to what the circumstances demand. Different fl ow rates can be made to ideally fi t the fl ow conditions thanks to the variability of baffl es on the primary- and secondary side.Later on, removing or inserting baffl es makes adapting to new operational conditions easy.The compact layout allows for low material consumption, thereby decreasing the unit‘s weight. Furthermore, a low hold-up is necessary, which, together with the thin walls, constitutes an effi cient and responsive control behaviour. The non-vibratory construction ensures a high operating reliability, at the same time allowing for elastic compensation of thermal stress.Thanks to its many advantages and the three different plate patterns the VAU-Bloc is ideally suited for different industries and a variety of scenarios.COVER PLATELIFTING LUGBOLTSSUPPORT COLUMNSSECONDARY SIDEGASKETPRIMARY SIDEBOTTOM PLATEPLATE PACKLAYOUT The VAU-Bloc is a fully welded plate heat exchanger with removable pressure plates at the incoming and outgoing chambers. These parts of the housing are manufactured from carbon steel, whereas the heat transfer surface is made from stainless steel. Depending on necessity and the intended application the removable pressure plates can be plated with stainless steel sheets. Thereby all parts in contact with media are made from stainless steel and all pressurized parts are produced using carbon steel. Thus the medium passing through is isolated and force-fed to the pressure retaining container. Therefore the use of high-quality material is economically feasible. The easily removable caps allow free access to the fully welded plate-stack, e.g. for cleaning and maintenance. This plate stack is the core of the unit: the actual heat exchange takes place here.ADVANTAGES PROPERTIES MATERIALREFINERIESTHERMAL POWER STATIONSNATURAL GAS AND PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRIESENERGY TECHNOLOGYBUILDING TECHNOLOGYCHEMICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIESREFRIGERATION AND HEATING TECHNOLOGYThe plates have no gaskets, the plate pack is fully welded:Operation with aggressive and corrosive media possibleOperation at high temperatures possibleCutback on maintenance costsNew plate pattern: Tubular – Chevron – Double DimpleThe fl ow conditions and media characteristics can be accounted for in a more reliable way.A continuous fl ow channel enables the use of liquids with solids.“Tubular“ or “Double Dimple“ pattern with their larger clear fl ow cross-section are perfectly suited for gases and vapour with larger volumes.Fully welded plate heat exchangerFlexible standard-seriesVariety of plate patternsDiversity of application scenariosLow maintenance and operational costsEasy to cleanAdapts to existing conditionsCan be mounted horizontally as well as verticallyAISI 304LAISI 316LAISI 904LHastelloy254 SMOConnections can be freely defi ned:the connections are not predefi ned by the plates‘ embossing and are only limited by the unit‘s dimensions.TYPES-OVERVIEWDimensions Weight Heating surfaceType A B H (min.)
