APV plate designs


– high performance with less steel, lower weight and lower costs

EnergySaver – best heat transfer value for money with less cooling or heating medium
For processing low-viscosity media. Narrow gap and numerous contact points for excellent thermal efficiency and a very close
temperature approach. Excellent heat recovery capability.

DuraFlow – best choice for applications with limited thermal demand


Typically for medium- or high-viscosity media or for low-viscosity media with large temperature difference. Wider gap and reduced
number of contact points to ease flow of viscous products.

ParaWeld – best choice for aggressive media and elevated pressure


Welded plate pairs design for single and two-phase heat transfer in refrigeration, petrochemical, chemical and other industrial sectors.
Welded channels allow handling of aggressive fluids. Resistant to thermal stress. Compact and space-saving design providing high
efficiency due to full counter current flow and reduced risk of leakage.
