gasket heat exchanger

Our plate heat exchanger (PHE) is the most economical and efficient type of heat exchanger on the market with its low cost, flexibility, easy maintenance, and high thermal efficiency. Our plate corrugations are designed to achieve turbulence across the entire heat transfer area in order to get the highest possible heat transfer coefficients with the lowest possible pressure drop and allow for close temperature approaches.

Consequently this means smaller heat transfer area, smaller heat exchangers and sometimes even fewer heat exchangers benefitting the client with less space requirements, reduced secondary flow rates and smaller pumps.

Our plate heat exchanger consists of a number of gasketed plates which are fixed between a top carrying bar and a lower guide bar. The plates are compressed by means of tie bolts between a stationary frame part(the head)and a moveable frame part(the follower)Fluids enter the plate heat exchanger through frame connections and are distributed to plates. The flow to alternate passages between the plates is controlled by alternating the placement of gaskets. These are available in single and multi-pass units, depending upon the application.
