Industries and Applications We Serve

Danfoss plate heat exchangers are used across a wide range of markets, from residential buildings to heavy process industry. The sections below describe where they are used and what each industry typically needs from a heat exchanger. Final product selection always depends on the duty, media, pressure and temperature, so our team will help you choose the right type.

HVAC and heat pumps

Heat exchangers sit at the heart of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems and heat pumps. They transfer heat between refrigerant and water circuits, and between building loops, so that comfort is delivered with as little energy as possible.

Typical applications

•       Heat pump condensers and evaporators for residential, apartment and commercial buildings

•       Separating water circuits in building heating and cooling systems

•       Domestic hot water preparation

•       Chiller and cooling circuits for commercial buildings

Danfoss fit

Compact, high-efficiency plate designs help lower operating costs and make installation easier in tight plant rooms.

Refrigeration and air conditioning
 

Reliable cooling is essential for hotels, retail, logistics and process cooling. Plate heat exchangers work as evaporators, condensers and sub-coolers in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems, and keep a secondary cooling loop separate from the refrigerant circuit.

Typical applications

•       Evaporators and condensers in refrigeration systems

•       Chilled water and brine cooling

•       Cooling for commercial and hospitality buildings

•       Industrial process cooling

Danfoss fit

Danfoss offers both brazed and gasketed designs, so the solution can be matched to pressure, refrigerant and capacity requirements.

Data centers

Data centers generate large amounts of heat and need continuous, dependable cooling. Plate heat exchangers separate the cooling water loops and move heat efficiently, which supports uptime and lowers energy use.

Typical applications

•       Isolating chiller and cooling tower loops from the facility cooling loop

•       Free cooling and heat transfer between cooling circuits

•       Heat recovery for reuse in neighboring buildings or district systems

Danfoss fit

High heat transfer performance and a service-friendly design support the reliability these facilities depend on.

Marine

Ships rely on heat exchangers for engine cooling, fresh water and onboard systems. Equipment must be compact, robust and easy to service at sea or in port.

Typical applications

•       Central cooling systems and engine jacket water cooling

•       Lubricating oil cooling

•       Fresh water generation and heating duties

•       Onboard HVAC and auxiliary systems

Danfoss fit

Standard gasketed plate heat exchangers are a perfect match for marine applications. The hero image at the top of this page shows a Danfoss unit in a ship's machinery room.

Food and beverage, including hygienic applications
 

Food, dairy and beverage producers need heat exchangers that meet strict hygiene standards and can be opened for inspection and cleaning. Plate heat exchangers provide fast, gentle heating and cooling with tight temperature control.

Typical applications

•       Pasteurization and heat treatment of milk and dairy products

•       Cooling of juices, beverages and brewing processes

•       Heating and cooling of sauces, syrups and liquid foods

•       Sugar processing and ethanol production (Free Flow plates)

Danfoss fit

Hygienic (sanitary) plate heat exchangers are ideal for dairy, food and beverage industries. Free Flow plates handle sugar processing, ethanol production and fibrous materials.

Thermal, renewable and conventional power

Power plants and energy facilities need heat exchangers that run for long periods under demanding conditions. Plate heat exchangers are used wherever heat has to be transferred efficiently between water, oil and other process media.

Typical applications

•       Cooling of auxiliary systems and closed cooling water loops

•       Oil cooling for turbines and machinery

•       Heat recovery and district heat supply from power generation

•       Renewable and thermal energy systems

Danfoss fit

The gasketed and welded range offers tailored solutions for demanding duties, with semi-welded designs for high-pressure needs.

Power-to-X and hydrogen

Power-to-X and hydrogen production convert renewable electricity into fuels and chemicals. These processes produce heat that has to be managed, and recovering it improves overall efficiency.

Typical applications

•       Cooling in electrolyzer and hydrogen production systems

•       Heat recovery to improve overall plant efficiency

•       Cooling and heating duties in synthetic fuel and chemical production

Danfoss fit

Danfoss lists Power-to-X and hydrogen among its selected industries, supported by brazed and gasketed solutions.

District heating and cooling
 

District energy systems deliver heat and cooling from a central source to many buildings. Plate heat exchangers separate the network from each building's internal system, transferring heat efficiently while keeping the two circuits apart.

Typical applications

•       Substations for residential and apartment buildings

•       Heat transfer between network and building loops

•       Large-scale heat exchange in central plants

•       Domestic hot water supply

Danfoss fit

Standard gasketed plate heat exchangers are well suited to district heating, and their design makes service and plate replacement straightforward.

Biogas and wastewater

Biogas plants and wastewater treatment works handle media that can be challenging, such as sludge and fluids with particles. Heat exchangers keep digesters at the right temperature and recover heat from treated flows.

Typical applications

•       Heating of digesters in biogas production

•       Heat recovery from wastewater and treated effluent

•       Cooling of biogas and process water

Danfoss fit

Gasketed plate heat exchangers are used in both industries, and Free Flow plates are suited to media with fibers or particles.
