3.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Fully welded K°Bloc plate heat exchangers offer a large heat transfer surface
with very compact design. They have been dimensioned to suit your applica-
tion. The basic structure of a K°Bloc is shown below. The specific execution
depends on the application. K°Bloc are made from fully welded heat
exchanger plates. The individual plates are welded together on two longitu-
dinal sides and at the corners. This creates two pressure-resistant and sepa-
rate chambers inside the unit. The resulting plate pack is bolted between
four columns, four panels and top and bottom head. The result is a compact
plate heat exchanger with two circuits. The K°Bloc is connected to the piping
by the connections provided in the panels.
