There are several sizes with varying numbers of plates and different stamp designs available to cover a large capacity range. In this way they can cater for heavily contaminated or high viscosity fluids, or even if the temperature difference between the hot and cold medium is only minimal. Depending on the application area, special plate designs are available made from higher-quality materials, such as titanium plates for use in seawater applications.
The plate corrugation designed by us provides a highly turbulent -flow. This is one of the reasons why plate heat exchangers have such a high heat transfer coef-cient. In addition, this turbulent -flow also acts to prevent scales on the plate surface.
The lightweight and compact construction reduces the installation space to 1/3 and the weight to 1/10 of S&T (shell & tube heat exchangers), respectively.
Special consideration is taken for the gasket so as to protect it from direct contact with the liquid.
Loosening the tightening bolts allows for simple disassembly. The heat transfer plates can be easily inspected visually, and cleaning is easy.
