Plate Heat Exchanger

Product Details:

WE ARE MANUFACTURER OF ALL TYPE OF PLATE HEAT EXCAHNGERS IN ALL SIZESA Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger (GPHE) is a device that transfers heat between two fluids, using a pack of thin, corrugated plates held together by a frame and bolts, with rubber gaskets between each plate to create separate flow channels for the fluids. It features a highly efficient, compact design for applications ranging from industrial processes to HVAC and food production, offering flexible capacity and easy maintenance. Components

• Plates:Corrugated metal plates (often stainless steel or titanium) that provide a large surface area for heat transfer. 
• Gaskets:Elastomeric seals fitted into grooves on the plates, preventing fluid mixing and directing the flow into alternate channels. 
• Frame:A fixed frame plate and a movable pressure plate that compress the plate pack and house the inlet/outlet connections. 
• Bolts:Used to tighten and compress the plates, creating the seals between them and holding the unit together. 
• Carrying and Guiding Bars:Support and locate the plate pack within the frame. 

How it Works

1. 1. Fluid Distribution:Gaskets and ports direct fluids into alternate channels between the plates, ensuring they don't mix. 
2. 2. Heat Transfer:As fluids flow through the channels, the hot fluid heats the plate, and the plate transfers that heat to the adjacent cold fluid. 
3. 3. Turbulence:The corrugations on the plates create turbulence in the fluids, which enhances heat transfer efficiency. 
4. 4. Assembly:The plates are assembled in a stack between the frame plates and compressed by tightening the bolts, which seals the gaskets and makes the unit leak-proof. 

Key Features & Advantages

• High Thermal Efficiency:The design optimizes heat transfer, allowing for a close approach temperature and high energy efficiency. 
• Compact and Flexible:GPHEs are compact, requiring less space than other heat exchanger types, and their capacity can be easily adjusted by adding or removing plates. 
• Easy Maintenance:The unit can be opened by loosening the bolts, making it easy to clean, inspect, and service. 
• No Cross-Contamination:Gasketed designs ensure complete separation of the two fluids. 

Applications 

• HVAC: Used for heat recovery and in heating and air conditioning circuits.
• Industrial Processes: Heating and cooling of various industrial liquids and chemicals.
• Food & Beverage: Pasteurizing milk, juice, yogurt, and other products.
• Pharmaceutical: Applications requiring hygienic heating and cooling.
