THERMALINE A/S is a Danish company which has exclusively specialised itself in the development, production and world-wide marketing of plate heat exchangers.

THERMALINE plate heat exchangers are used in the industrial, marine,food and dairy sectors.

THERMALINE is a company which, during the last few years,has expanded considerably, the result being, that THERMALINE today exports its plate heat exchangers all over the world.

THERMALINE works at a high quality level, based on an expeineced staff, with regards to both production and calculation of plate heat exchangers.

The design and function of THERMALINE plate heat exchange

The plate heat exchanger consists of a frame, which in turn consists of a head, a follower, a column, a carrying bar, a guiding bar and a number of clamping bolts. In between the head and the follower a varying number of pressed plates are clamped together.

Each plate is supplied with a gasket, so that the plates form a closed system of parallel flow channels, through which the medias flow alternately at every second interval.

THERMALINE plate heat exchangers for the food and dairy sector

During the last 40 years the food and dairy sectors have used plate heat exchangers in both primary and secondary heat exchanger applications.

During the course of the mentioned 40 year period the plate heat exchanger has undergone a development fase, which has resulted in constructions with greater and greater thermal efficiency.

THERMALINE has developed a plate heat exchanger programme, which complies with all the demands of the food and dairy sectors. For example in: Treatment of the product、 Thermal efficiency、 Heat recovery、 Heating and cooling medias

* Treatment of the product

Food products are sensitive to the influence of both temperature and pressure. That is why the equipment used in the treatment of food products has to be designed to give the gentiest possible treatment of the product.THERMALINE can,with its flex system completely comply with these demands.

* Thermal efficiency

In the development of THERMALINE plate heat exchangers, THERMALINE has aimed for high thermal efficiency in all heat exchanger applications. This is achieved with the help of a plate programme, which can fully utilize a specified pressure drop, i.e.by using the pressure drop to create turbulence and thereby heat transmission across the whole plate pattern.

An effective turbulence in the plate heat exchanger will give a minimum of fouling on the plates.

THERMALINE has a flex system consisting of plates with varying lengths and two diffrent patterns for each plate type.

THERMALINE can, with its flex system, solve all existent heat exchanger applications, by turning the product flow a minimum of times inside the plate heat exchanger. The advantage of this is, that the product flow only has to pass the cormer holes a minimal number of times, which results in an extremely gentle treatment of the product.

* Heat recovery

On the grounds of economy, it is obvious that a production plant is designed on the basis of maximum heat recovery.

The THERMALINE plate heat exchanger programme is, with the help of a maximum thermal efficiency and a minimal space requirement, ideal for the heat recovery. It will, in many production plants, be an advantage to replace the existing heat exchangers with THERMALINE plate heat exchangers. They have the necessary thermal efficiency to achieve the optimal working economy.

* Heating and cooling medias

With the thermal efficiency of THERMALINE plate heat exchangers, the flow capacity in heating and cooling medias can be reduced quite considerably in comparison to other types of plate heat exchangers.

This means that the size of the secondary installation is reduced, which results in the use of smaller pipe diameters, valves and pumps. In this way the most economical solution for a complete process plant is echieved.
