PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Stainless Steel Water Treatment Plate Heat Exchanger For Industrial Cooling

Plate Heat Exchangers

A plate heat exchanger comprises a series of metal plates stacked together, each with specific corrugations. These plates create narrow rectangular channels, facilitating heat exchange between fluids, particularly in liquid-to-liquid and liquid-to-vapor operations.

Plate heat exchangers offer several advantages: exceptional heat transfer efficiency, minimal thermal losses, compact and lightweight design, small footprint, versatility, and long service life. Compared to traditional tube heat exchangers, they achieve higher heat transfer coefficients while occupying less space. Additionally, they can achieve heat recovery rates exceeding 90%.

The unique design of plate heat exchangers promotes efficient heat transfer while minimizing pressure drop. The corrugated plates induce turbulence in fluid flow, enhancing heat transfer capabilities. Consequently, plate heat exchangers are widely preferred in industries for heating, cooling, and heat recovery processes.

 
According to the structure, plate heat exchangers can be classified into four main types:

Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers, also known as removable plate heat exchangers, consist of detachable metal plates sealed with gaskets, making them suitable for applications with lower flow rates and significant temperature variations.

Welded Plate Heat Exchangers feature metal plates welded directly together to form a tightly sealed heat transfer surface, making them ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature environments.

Spiral Plate Heat Exchangers utilize a pair of spiral-shaped metal plates to create multiple channels for fluid separation and heat exchange.

Plate and Frame Heat Exchangers, or honeycomb heat exchangers, consist of corrugated metal plates stacked within a frame. Fluid flows through alternating channels between the plates, enabling efficient heat transfer.
