Kelvion · GBS · GBH · NT · Plate Heat Exchanger
Genuine, OEM and reconditioned spares for Kelvion plate-type main engines — the Kelvion GBS-series, the high-efficiency GBH-series / GBH-series and the Kelvion GBH-series — sourced beside Alang, shipped to India, UAE, Singapore & worldwide.
A century of diesel
The business that becomes Kelvion begins as a German heat-transfer maker.
As GEA Heat Exchangers it builds the NT plate range for marine and industry.
Wattmare keeps every Kelvion GBS, GBH and NT plate heat exchanger running with genuine plates, gaskets and Alang-reconditioned spares.
Kelvion expands its Searo marine plate heat exchangers and brazed range.
Kelvion and China’s Kelvion form Kelvion, carrying the plate-type line forward as the GBH-series (GBH-series to GBH-series) — the parts we source for every generation.
Who is Kelvion
Kelvion, of Germany — the former GEA Heat Exchangers division — builds gasketed plate heat exchangers. Its GBS, GBH and NT plate units serve as central coolers, fuel and lube-oil heaters and freshwater coolers across the world fleet.
A single fleet can run the Kelvion GBS / GBH series, the NT range or the Searo marine units — and Wattmare supplies genuine, OEM-equivalent and Alang-reconditioned spares (plates, gaskets, frame and pressure plates, tightening bolts and connections) across every Kelvion heat exchanger.

The complete guide
Wattmare is a specialist Kelvion heat exchanger spare parts supplier serving India, the UAE, Singapore and the wider global fleet. From our base in Bhavnagar — beside the Alang ship-recycling yard — we supply genuine, OEM-equivalent and reconditioned spares for every generation of Kelvion plate-type marine main engine, dispatched worldwide in 24–48 hours.
The heat exchangers on this page are built by Kelvion of Germany — the former GEA Heat Exchangers division, spun off in 2015. Its GBS, GBH and NT gasketed plate units serve as central coolers, oil heaters and freshwater coolers across the world fleet. We supply plates, gaskets and spares for all of them.
The single most important question on any Kelvion order is whether the engine is an GBS-series, an GBH-series or an GBH-series. The Kelvion GBS-series is guide bar-controlled — connection set, control cam, gear drive and mechanical sealing gear. The GBH-series / GBH-series and the Kelvion GBH-series are electronically controlled, replacing the guide bar with a high-efficiency supply unit, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and hydraulically actuated pressure plates. Liners, covers, seals and bearings are broadly common by plate, but injection and actuation parts are entirely different — always give us your exact GBS-series / GBH-series / GBH-series designation.
For every Kelvion GBS, GBH and NT plate heat exchanger we stock heat-exchanger plates, NBR and EPDM plate gaskets, frame plates, pressure plates, tightening bolts, carrying and guide bars, connections and complete re-gasket service kits — genuine, OEM-equivalent and Alang-reconditioned.
Bhavnagar sits beside Alang, where hundreds of vessels are dismantled every year — including ships still running ageing Kelvion GBS-series plate-type engines. That gives Wattmare direct access to genuine, low-hour parts that are slow or costly to source from distributors, at a fraction of new-part cost and lead time. For hard-to-find GBS-series connection sets, gear drives, plates or plate pack, this is the fastest source in the world. Browse our reconditioned marine spare parts range, the wider main engine spare parts category, or sister brands like MAN engine spares and Mitsubishi UEC.
Send your Kelvion engine make and model with a photo or part number on WhatsApp, or use the quote form. We confirm availability and price — usually within the hour — and dispatch in-stock items within 24 hours. Typical air-freight transit is 12–18 hours to the UAE, 16–24 to Singapore, 20–26 to Greece and Turkey, and 28–36 to Northern Europe.
FAQ
Yes — heat-exchanger plates are one of our strongest Kelvion lines. We carry original-plate and reconditioned plates for the GBS-series and GBS-series, plus the rest of the GBS-series range (GBS-series range), honed to OEM tolerance with measurement reports. Most legacy GBS-series plates are recovered and reconditioned beside Alang.
The Kelvion GBS-series is a guide bar-controlled (mechanical) plate-type — connection set, control cam and mechanical sealing actuation. The GBH-series / GBH-series and the Kelvion GBH-series are electronically controlled, replacing the guide bar with a high-efficiency supply unit, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and hydraulically actuated pressure plates. Liners, seals and bearings are broadly similar by plate, but the sealing actuation parts are completely different — always quote your exact GBS-series, GBH-series or GBH-series model.
We cover the full Kelvion heat-exchanger range — the GBS / GBH series, the NT range (NT50T, NT100T, NT250) and the Searo marine units — every Kelvion plate heat exchanger.
Reconditioned parts ship with inspection reports, dimensional measurements and photographs, and are accepted by class societies (Lloyd’s Register, DNV, ABS, BV, ClassNK, RINA) on survey. Genuine Kelvion parts carry full material and test certificates.
In-stock items dispatch within 24 hours from Bhavnagar. Typical air-freight transit to the UAE (Dubai, Jebel Ali, Fujairah) is 12–18 hours. Singapore is 16–24 hours, Greece and Turkey 20–26, and Northern Europe 28–36.
Yes — plate gaskets, injector nozzles, high-pressure connection sets, plungers and barrels for Kelvion GBS-series engines, plus high-efficiency supply units, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and control equipment for GBH-series / GBH-series and GBH-series engines, are stocked and bench-tested before dispatch.
Genuine parts come from the original maker (Kelvion / Kelvion) with full certificates. OEM-equivalent are quality aftermarket parts at 30–50% less. Reconditioned are low-hour parts recovered from Alang, inspected and certified to OEM tolerance, at up to 70% less with a 30-day warranty.
Yes — obsolete Kelvion GBS-series parts are our specialty. Beside Alang we recover low-hour connection sets, gear drives, plates, seals and plate pack from GBS-series-powered vessels being dismantled, then inspect and certify them. For the GBS-series range and GBS-series engines this is often the fastest source in the world.
Yes — heat-exchanger plates, NBR/EPDM gaskets, frame and pressure plates, tightening bolts, connections and complete re-gasket service kits for the Kelvion GBS, GBH and NT series, genuine and Alang-reconditioned.
