The plate heat exchanger is a new efficient and compact heat exchanger that has developed and extensively used in recent decades. It consists of multiple parallel corrugated-surface thin metal sheets that overlap and are then fixed by lamp plates and bolts. The cold working fluid and the hot working fluid flow through the narrow and winding passage made of two neighboring plates alternately and realize cold and heat exchange through the plates separating the two working fluids.
The plate heat exchanger consists essentially of heat transfer plates, gaskets and a clamping device. Thanks to its structure and heat exchange principle, it is characterized by compact structure, small floor area, high heat transfer coefficient and operation flexibility, wide application range, small heat loss, easy installation and cleaning, etc. The two mediums have a mean temperature difference as small as 1ºC and heat recovery efficiency higher than 99 percent. Based on the same pressure loss, the plate heat exchanger has, compared with a tubular heat exchanger, a heat transfer coefficient two to four times higher, a one-third floor area and two-thirds metal consumption. It is therefore an efficient and energy, material and investment saving advanced heat exchanger. It is now widely used in industrial fields such as chemical industry, petrochemical, food, machinery, central heating, metallurgy, power, ships, paper-making, textile, pharmaceutical industry, nuclear industry, seawater desalination and combined heat and power generation to meet the requirements of processes such as cooling, heating, condensation, concentration, sterilization and residual heat recovery. It has become a highly competitive product in the heat exchanger field or evenly has replaced conventional tubular heat exchangers. With its development, it will be used in more and more fields.
Structure principle
The detachable plate heat exchanger is made of many stamped corrugated thin plates at a certain interval, sealed with gaskets around them, and laminated and compressed by a frame and a compression screw. The four corner holes of the plates and gaskets form fluid At the same time, the distribution pipe and the collection pipe reasonably separate the cold and hot fluids, so that they flow in the flow channels on both sides of each plate, and exchange heat through the plates.
Plate and gasket
The plate materials and the gasket materials mainly depend on the corrosive properties and temperatures of the cold exchange medium and the heat exchange medium.
