Introduction To M Serie-Baseline-Frontline Gemini plate heat exchanger

The Gemini plates feature a unique design consisting of two plates with a small air gap in between. This double-wall configuration ensures a cross-contamination-safe design. In the event of a crack or damage to one of the plates, the air gap prevents the mixing of the two media. This design adds an extra layer of security and reliability, making it suitable for applications where maintaining product integrity and preventing cross-contamination is crucial.

M Serie-Baseline-Frontline Gemini plate heat exchanger Application

General cooling/heating for pharma, brewery and beverage applications when a mix proof design is required. To secure the cross contamination safe feature, water or water like fluids are recommended.

M-Serie/BaseLine/FrontLine Gemini Plate Heat Exchangers How It Work

Channels are formed between the plates and the corner ports are arranged so that the two media flow through alternate channels. A unique distribution area provides an efficient flow over the plate surface. The heat is transferred through the plate between the channels, and a complete counter-current flow is created for the highest possible efficiency. The chevron corrugation of the plates provides the passage between the plates, supports each plate against the adjacent one and enhances turbulence. The high turbulence resulting in efficient heat transfer and high surface shear forces to minimise fouling and the build-up of biofilm. The plates are reversible and have a parallel flow, which means that only one type of gasket is needed.
