| Bell & Gossett has announced that its popular line of
Model GPX gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchangers is among the first in the HVACR
industry to receive the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute’s (ARI) new
certification for liquid-to-liquid heat exchangers. The recently initiated ARI Standard
400 certification designates product performance excellence and was developed to provide a
common and consistent method of evaluating the thermal performance of liquid-to-liquid
heat exchangers. Certification is granted to heat exchangers that, when tested, meet or
exceed the manufacturer's published thermal performance rating.
"We are honored to receive this certification as it reinforces Bell &
Gossett’s long standing reputation for quality and performance excellence," said
Karl Buscher, Vice-president of Marketing at ITT Industries' Fluid Handling Division.
"It provides our customers with added reassurance that they can depend on Bell &
Gossett for products with guaranteed performance."
The ARI certification covers 34 Bell & Gossett GPX models from the Model P4 to the
Model P200. The GPX line comes in a wide variety of plate construction materials and
connection types.
ARI's Liquid-to-Liquid Heat Exchangers Certification process applies to plate- and/or
shell-type liquid-to-liquid heat exchangers which are tested in accordance with ANSI/ARI
Standard 400-2001.
