The Sondex Marine Plate Heat Exchanger Range

Through technological innovation, SONDEX has developed and designed a new generation of plate heat exchangers especially for the marine sector.

 

The SONDEX Plate Heat Exchanger:

Plate Heat Exchanger for marine applications

Our plate heat exchanger has become a standard component in the cooling systems of many ships. We design our product to comply with all the major international ship classification bureaux rules, so the ship-owner knows his SONDEX plate heat exchanger meets the most rigorous standards of quality.
 
 

The SONDEX Marine Plate Range:

The range consists of 18 plate types each with 2 different corrugations (thermal hard and thermal soft). The range consists of plates with areas from 0.04 m²/plates to 2.00 m²/plates and from 1" to 14" connections enabling us to handle moduet up to 2000 m³/hr. The frame edge is clamped with a normal industrial painted frame or a coated frame.
 
 

 

Space and weight requirement:

 

It is essential onboard ship to choose equipment that will take up the least space and load possible.
 
The difference between a traditional tubular heat exchanger and a SONDEX plate heat exchanger is considerable. Our heat exchanger can offer significant reductions in space and weight requirements:

Space and weight saving technology
 

 

 
  • The weight of the plate heat exchanger only has 20% …
  • The size is only 30% …
  • The K-value is 4-6 times higher.
  • Easier to service.
  • Longer durability and fewer costs.
 

Cooling system:

  Cooling system for marine Plate Heat Exchangers
 
       
1.  Main engine 7.   Lubricating oil cooler, auxiliary engine
2.  Auxilary engine 8.   Lubricating oil cooler, main engine
3.  Heat exchanger for central heating    9.   Seawater filter
4.  Freshwater generator 10.  Seawater pump
5.  Central cooler 11.  Freshwater pump
6.  Gear oil cooler    
   
 

Most cooling systems are made as central cooling systems. Only a few large plate heat exchangers are equipped with titanium plates. Titanium is the only material that can withstand seawater without corrosive damage occurring to the plates in the heat exchanger. With titanium the central cooler can operate using seawater as the cooling medium for the internal freshwater cooling system.
 
The rest of the plate heat exchangers are equipped with stainless steel plates. There is no corrosion risk as the heat exchangers work with freshwater.

   
 

Classifications:

 

SONDEX exchangers can be supplied classified to Lloyds, DNV, BV, ABS etc..
