Plate Heat Exchanger

Plate heat exchangers can be divided into categories according to their function or characteristics. The most common type is the Plate And Frame Heat Exchanger, which uses gaskets between its plates to create a hermetic seal between them. Another type is the Brazed plate heat exchanger, which is a sealed unit where the plates are joined together by a brazing process. There are also welded plate heat exchangers, involving the use of welding, as well as semi-welded and fully-welded models. Pillow Plate Heat Exchanger consists of two thin metal plates with a herringbone structure on them, the plates are welded together to form a series of interconnected pillow chambers.

Plate heat exchangers are typically used for applications including heating, cooling, heat recovery and condensing, and are especially useful for industrial applications as they are compact. efficient, cost-effective, easy to use and require minima maintenance. Additionally, plate heat exchangers can be used totransfer fluids of different temperatures quickly and in a wide range of flow rates.

Plate heat exchangers are highly suitable for industrial and domestic applications such as air conditioning and refrigeration, radiators and condensers. Oil cooling, chemical processes, food and beverage processing.
