ARI-Armaturen UK, worldwide leaders in the manufacture and supply of process valves, exhibited the proven ARI Compheat heat exchange unit, that provides accurate heat control, at Foodex 2006. This trusted product within the ARI range offers a compact solution for heat transfer requirements, for the generation of both domestic hot water and low temperature hot water, derived from either steam or medium temperature hot water. Occupying less than one square metre, with low capital cost and low maintenance requirements the Compheat range is ideal for small plant rooms and various applications including heat recovery, heating, cooling, pumping and filtration.

The ARI Compheat is a reliable, efficient and low cost system that offers accurate electric or pneumatic control.

Because control is achieved by progressively bypassing secondary water flow away from the heat exchanger, the Compheat has a particularly rapid response to changes in load.

ARI Compheat benefits from a selection of standard equipment that differentiates the unit from competitors and ensures high performance.

A full isolation package of high quality bellows sealed stop valves for the primary circuit, and lined butterfly valves for the second circuit, comes as standard, as do the 'clean in place' connections that help to simplify the maintenance process.

Safety is of utmost importance, so the Compheat comes complete with a self-acting high temperature cut-out to protect the unit from over heating.

Further, because the primary circuit is permanently charged there is no risk of water standing within the unit at low temperature, removing entirely the risk of legionella bacteria build up.

These packaged heat exchange units are also available with extended options that include pumped condensate systems, pressure reduction and steam conditioning.

In addition, a completely customised system can be provided to match your specific requirements.
