Heat Exchangers

Plate heat exchangers use corrugated plates stacked between a fixed and movable pressure plate. As virtually all of the material is used for heat transfer, plate heat exchangers can have large amounts of effective heat transfer surface in a small footprint. It is not uncommon that a plate heat exchanger will have the same thermal capacity as a shell and tube five times larger. Our plate heat exchangers incorporate superior design features to ensure long-term performance and customer satisfaction.Unique corrugation pattern pressed onto each plate produces the highest overall heat transfer rate by assuring turbulent flow and excellent fluid distribution across the entire surface.

Performance Notes

• True counter current flow and high heat transfer rate allows our plate heat exchangers to economically handle close temperature approach requirements
• Highest quality gaskets precisely fit the plate grooves for positive sealing and ease of maintenance
• Superior clip-on gasket design ensures proper fit during closing of the unit
• Double sealing design prevents the possibility of mixing the two process fluids; leak detect feature ensures any leakage is to the atmosphere
• Zinc coated hardware provides long life
• All bolted construction for easier service
• Low volumetric fluid hold-up provides quicker response to heating and cooling demands, while reducing costs for more expensive process fluids
• Readily expanded for greater capacities, or totally new applications
• Available in a variety of plate sizes for industrial, HVAC, power, or food industry applications
