Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger
Product Introduction
Plate heat exchanger is a new efficient and compact heat exchanger that has developed and extensively used in the 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:
heat transfer plates
gaskets
nozzles
a clamping device
Product Features
compact structure
small floor area
high heat transfer coefficient
high operation flexibility
wide application range
small heat loss
easy installation and cleaning
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 a two-thirds metal consumption. It is therefore an efficient and energy, material and investment saving advanced heat exchanger.
Application
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, sea water 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.
Material Reference
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. The plate heat exchanger's plate materials and corresponding applicable places are given in Table 1 and its gasket materials and corresponding applicable places in Table 2 for your reference.
