We bring forth for our clients a precision engineered array of Plate Type Heat Exchanger which uses metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. These composed of multiple, thin, slightly-separated plates that have very large surface areas and fluid passes through these plates for heat transfer. This stacked-plate arrangement can be more effective, in a given space, than the shell and tube type heat exchangers.
Advances in gasket and brazing technology have made the plate-type heat exchanger increasingly practical. In HVAC applications, large heat exchangers of this type are called plate-and-frame; when used in open loops, these heat exchangers are normally of the gasketed type to allow periodic disassembly, cleaning and inspection. There are many types of permanently-bonded plate heat exchangers, such as dip-brazed and vacuum-brazed plate varieties, which are often specified for closed-loop applications such as refrigeration.
Plate Type Heat Exchangers also differ in the types of plates that are used and in the configurations of those plates. The closely spaced metal heat transfer plates have troughs or corrugations which induce turbulence to the liquids flowing as a thin stream between the plates.
The plates have corner ports, which in the complete plate pack form a manifold for even fluid distribution to the individual plate passages. As an exclusive feature, parallel flow heat exchanger plates have interlocking gaskets in which upstanding lugs and scallops are sited intermittently around the outside edges. The seal between the plates is established by a peripheral gasket which also separates the port and flow areas with a double barrier. The inter-spaces are vented to atmosphere to prevent cross-contamination in the rare event of leakage. Plate Type Heat Exchangers consist of a stationary head and end support connected by a top carrying bar and bottom guide rail. These form a rigid frame which supports the plates and moveable follower.

Clients can get the Plate Type Heat Exchangers from in customized technical specifications and at industry leading rates.
