GEA Thermo Xchange
The GEA Thermo Xchange is an innovative heat recovery system designed to revolutionize traditional drying methods, delivering significant energy savings and reducing environmental footprint. Whether you operate a large-scale industrial plant or a specialized production line, Thermo Xchange offers a smarter way forward.
The Challenge
Traditional pasta drying systems rely heavily on hot and dry air, which is generated by consuming large amounts of thermal energy. Unfortunately, up to 70% of this energy is lost as humid air is exhausted into the environment. This inefficiency leads to high operating costs, increased CO₂ emissions, and dependency on external climate conditions.
Producers need a solution that recovers wasted energy, stabilizes production, and aligns with environmental goals. That solution is GEA Thermo Xchange.
How Thermo Xchange Works
Thermo Xchange captures the latent heat contained in the humid air extracted from the dryer. Instead of letting this energy escape, our system uses a high-efficiency heat pump to transform it into usable heat at a higher temperature. This recovered energy is then reintegrated into the thermal circuit, powering the drying process without relying on boilers during normal operation. The result is a stable, controlled environment that is independent of external conditions. Moreover, the system provides dual functionality: hot water for drying and chilled water for cooling, ensuring maximum flexibility and efficiency across your production line.
Heat Exchanger specifically designed for the dry pasta production process.
- Pillow plate construction - designed for easy maintenance and cleaning.
- High condensation rate – integrated recovery system for optimal performance.
- Humidity monitoring – Relative humidity probes before and after the heat exchanger for precise control
- Dynamic airflow management automatically adjusted to optimize performance.
