Meeting customer needs Hexonic ’ s commitment to catering to its customers ’ needs is reflected by the continuous expansion of its product line . In its search for optimal solutions , the company closely follows all trends , needs , and developments of the heat exchanger market and adjusts accordingly . Christian Huhn gave some hints about several new product releases coming from Hexonic over the course of 2024 . “ We ’ ve already announced our first product release of the year , the LF700 , which is the world ’ s biggest brazed plate heat exchanger . The compactness of this unit is key . If you need a product with a small footprint , then the LF700 is the absolute right solution for this problem .” The LF700 heat exchanger boasts increased turbulence and flow velocity , delivering heightened heat exchange efficiency and reduced process time . Its plate construction effectively diminishes flow resistance , ensuring optimal efficiency and cost-effectiveness . Equipped with DN150 connections , it is tailored for applications with larger media flows . Moreover , its gasket-free design enables it to withstand high operating temperatures , making it ideal for processes requiring elevated heat levels compared to conventional plate and frame heat exchangers with similar specifications . Another major focus for Hexonic is high-performance units intended to improve the plate design and pay more attention to heat transfer efficiency . Currently , the company is working with several different types of high-performance plate heat exchangers , especially in the areas where they will prove to be the most useful . In particular , these units are specifically engineered to fit certain applications where space and heat transfer capacity are limited . In addition , Christian explained that there are more announcements to come in Hexonic ’ s lines of asymmetric heat exchangers and double-wall brazed plate heat exchangers . These are intended for systems where it is crucial to help protect media from mixing , and to quickly detect any possible leaks .
