In multi-story and high-rise buildings, it is essential to convey the water in the heating or cooling lines to the highest level of the system. Significant pressures arise here due to the height. Imposing this pressure load on the heating or cooling system at the bottom of the process can lead to excessive stress, system fatigue, and the use of costly plumbing equipment. Apart from the systemic challenges, the initial investment cost will rise to very high levels due to the installation requirements suitable for high pressure.
To address these issues, a plate heat exchanger positioned between the heating or cooling systems and the plumbing can serve as a pressure breaker. It not only handles the system pressure internally but also allows the heating or cooling circuit to operate at lower pressures, reducing the system load and providing a comfortable working environment.
ERK plate heat exchangers, designed according to process conditions, enable the primary circuit to operate at lower pressures by reducing the load on the boiler or cooling group, while in the secondary circuit, they internally handle the high-pressure load of the system, serving as a pressure breaker. ERK plate heat exchangers, resistant to high pressures, are your reliable solution partner for such requirements.
