1 Introduction
This document describes heating insulation for gasketed plate heat
exchangers. The insulation helps to protect against heat of the plate pack
Heating insulation design comes in three different sizes: small, medium and
large. In the table below, GPHE products are specified in order.

1 IntroductionEN

2 Description
The insulation panels are designed to ensure simple assembly and
disassembly. They are equipped with connecting latches for the medium and
large sizes and screws for the small size.

3 Limitations
The heating insulation has the following limitations:
• The insulation can only be used for a certain temperature range. For more
information, see the section Technical data.
• Insulation may not be available for all plate heat exchanger models with
holed pressure plate.
• The insulation can not be used in combination with connectivity rings.
• Insulation in combination with protection sheet is not available.
• If longer stud bolts are selected, standard insulation does not fit.
• Insulation is only available up to size T25.
• The insulation is not diffusion tight.
• The insulation is for interior use only.

6 Measurements
The table below shows maximum dimensions and measurements in mm
(inch). For exact measurements, use the sales configuration tool. Only GPHE
models available with heating insulation are shown below.
NOTE
The data listed in the table below are for a standard plate heat exchanger with a
standard carrying bar, hole only in the frame plate and standard connections. For
non-standard plate heat exchangers, contact your Alfa Laval representative.

7.1 Insulation for small units
This section is only valid for insulation intended for small units. See Chapter
Introduction for sizing. The GPHE is totally built in for the small insulations (no
bolts sticking out).

7.1.1 Installation
WARNING Risk of personal injury.
Wear personal protective equipment when handling the insulation panels.
The gasketed plate heat exchanger shown in the illustrations is just an example of a product where
the small insulation is used.
The piping is not shown in the illustrations.
1Install the gasketed plate heat exchanger and
connect all piping according to separate
documentation and publications.
