Same port-to-port dimensions, same connection options — with the UNEX PB44, replacing a Funke GPL8 therefore requires no changes to the installation at all. The port-to-port dimensions are identical (420 × 160 mm) and the PB44 has a combi connection: G2½" male thread or 54 mm solder, one port that allows both ways of connecting. The PB44 is a brazed plate heat exchanger with plates of AISI 316L stainless steel, copper brazed. With versions from 20 to 200 plates, the series covers the full GPL8 range; choose the plate count that matches your current exchanger. A Funke GPL8-40 is thus replaced by the PB44-40. The versions of the PB44 are quickly available on request from Oosterhout (the Netherlands). Send us the type number of your GPL8 or look it up in the table above; we will confirm the correct replacement and you will receive a quote within one working day. Matching insulation, such as a thermal insulation jacket, can be ordered along with it. To discuss by phone, call +31 (0)162 429 068.
