Find The Perfect Plate Heat Exchanger Unit Frame And Spare Parts For Your Business Growth

The Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) is an advanced heat transfer device designed for high-efficiency thermal exchange between fluids. It consists of a series of corrugated metal plates stacked together, forming separate channels for hot and cold fluids. The plates are sealed with gaskets or permanently brazed/welded, ensuring leak-proof operation. PHEs are widely used in HVAC, power plants, chemical processing, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and marine industries.

✅ Highly efficient heat transfer (Up to 90%)

✅ Compact & modular design – Easy to scale by adding/removing plates

✅ Energy-efficient & cost-effective – Reduces operational costs

✅ Easy maintenance & cleaning – Plates can be easily removed (for gasketed PHEs)

✅ Customizable for specific industry needs – Various plate materials & gasket options available

Technical Features & Advantages

Optimized Plate Design for Maximum Efficiency

• Corrugated plates create turbulence, enhancing heat transfer and reducing fouling.

• Thin plate construction (0.4–1.0 mm) ensures fast and efficient thermal exchange.

• Multiple flow configurations (parallel, counterflow, crossflow) for process optimization.

Advanced Gasket Technology (For Gasketed PHEs)

• Clip-on or glued gaskets for easy replacement and long service life.

• Material options: EPDM, NBR, Viton for compatibility with different fluids.

Durable Materials for Extreme Conditions

• Stainless Steel (SS304, SS316L), Titanium, Hastelloy, Nickel Alloys available.

• Handles aggressive chemicals, seawater, and high-pressure applications.

Modular & Scalable Configuration

• Plates can be added or removed to adjust heat exchange capacity.

• Ideal for expanding industrial operations with changing heat loads.

Structure & Working Principle

Main Components of a Plate Heat Exchanger

How It Works

1. Two fluids (hot & cold) enter through separate inlets.

2. Fluids flow through alternating narrow channels without mixing.

3. Heat is transferred from the hot fluid to the cold fluid via the plates.

4. Cooled hot fluid & heated cold fluid exit through separate outlets.

5. Efficient turbulence flow ensures maximum heat exchange with minimal fouling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I choose the right Plate Heat Exchanger?

A: Provide details such as fluid type, temperature range, flow rate, pressure, and application. Our engineers will recommend the best model.

Q2: Can PHEs handle high-pressure applications?

A: Yes, welded and semi-welded PHEs are designed for high-pressure environments.

Q3: How often should I clean my PHE?

A: Cleaning frequency depends on usage, but CIP (Clean-in-Place) maintenance is recommended every 6–12 months for optimal performance.
