Heat exchange solutions for steam and hot water application require reliable and robust products. Gestra’s shell and tube heat exchangers are designed for long service life and maximum efficiency.

Various types of heat exchangers are available. In addition to the classic horizontal or vertical tube bundle heat exchanger, bolted and welded plate-type versions are also used in steam and condensate systems. Heat exchangers can be manufactured from a wide range of materials to suit your requirements. Applications include steam-heated heat exchangers for production purposes or for the heating of buildings. Furthermore, a wide variety of applications can be found in the area of heat recovery. Here, heat exchangers can be used as residual blowdown coolers, flash steam coolers, or as economizers.

Gestra offers various systems for controlling heat exchangers. Control on the steam side can be performed using self-acting temperature regulators (Clorius system), or controllers with electrical, pneumatic or electro-pneumatic actuation. For building heating systems, vertical heat exchangers with electrical controllers are frequently used on the condensate side. In addition, there are various customer requirements regarding control accuracy or system speed, for which Gestra’s process control is able to offer customized complete solutions.
