High-temperature plate heat exchangers

For demanding high-temperature environments up to 1000°C and outputs ranging from 250kWe up to 1MW or more, BOSAL ECI offers tailor-made, modular plate heat exchangers that recycle heat from exhausts. These highly efficient, compact energy conversion systems can be fully integrated into your power system. 

 

A wide range of applications

BOSAL ECI energy conversion and modular recycling systems are ideal for:

  • Fuel cell systems (SOFC, PEMFC, MCFC)
  • Gas turbines
  • Micro turbines
  • Stirling engines
  • Internal combustion engines

 

High-efficiency plates

ECI plate heat exchangers a deliver high contact surface density between two gas flows (more than 1.2 m2/liter) like one air flow and one exhaust flow. These highly efficient energy conversion systems deliver intensive heat transfer in combination with low pressure-drop and can be used in both co-flow and counter-flow configurations. Offering heat recovery at temperatures similar to the feeding heat flow, they can achieve efficiencies of up to 90% or more.

 

Advanced modular components

With seven different plate sizes, BOSAL ECI offers the best modular footprint suited to your requirements. Whether it concerns a compact or large system, together with you we design, test, build and manufacture modules that are fully integrated into your energy power system according to your precise specifications. 

 

Based on your system’s heat recovery needs, our compact, versatile modules

can also be configured to function as:

  • Pre-heaters to recycle waste heat (e.g. in Stirling engines)
  • Reformers to convert hydrocarbons into hydrogen (e.g. in SOFC systems)
