Plate Type Heat Exchangers
About Plate Type Heat Exchangers
Plate type heat exchangers are a type of heat exchanger that uses thin plates or corrugated plates to transfer heat between two fluids. Plate heat exchangers are widely used in various industries for heating, cooling, evaporation, condensation, and heat recovery processes.
Plate type heat exchangers are commonly employed in HVAC systems, refrigeration systems, food and beverage processing, chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, power generation, and marine applications.
Plate heat exchangers consist of a series of plates stacked together, with alternating fluid passages between the plates. The plates are typically made of stainless steel, titanium, or other corrosion-resistant materials. The fluid streams flow through these passages, allowing for efficient heat transfer between them.
The plates in a plate heat exchanger are typically corrugated to increase the surface area available for heat transfer. The corrugations create turbulence in the fluid flow, enhancing heat transfer efficiency. The plates are stacked together and compressed between frame plates to form a sealed unit.
Plate heat exchangers can be either gasketed or welded. In gasketed plate heat exchangers, flexible gaskets are used to seal the fluid passages between the plates, allowing for easy disassembly and maintenance. In welded plate heat exchangers, the plates are permanently welded together, providing a more compact and leak-proof design suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
The two fluid streams flow in opposite directions between the plates, maximizing the temperature difference and enhancing heat transfer efficiency. The turbulent flow created by the corrugated plates further improves heat transfer rates.
