High thermal conductivity
Special corrugated plates enable the liquid to obtain higher heat transfer efficiency under the lower flow speed, which is usually 3-5times of that of traditional tubular heat exchanger. Under the same heat transfer task , the heat transfer area of plate heat exchanger is only 1/2-1/3 of that of tubular heat exchanger.
2-5?1/5-1/2?
Smaller area
The plate heat exchanger with compact structure is 2-5 times in heat transfer area in unit volume and 1/5-1/2 time in footprint of tubular heat exchanger under the same task.
Lower fouling factor
Fluid in plate heat exchanger can form severe turbulence even at lower flow speed which makes
Fluids flowing in plate heat exchangers can generate severe turbulence even at lower flow velocities. This self-scouring effect makes impurities difficult to deposit. Smooth stainless steel plate surface makes impurities difficult to adhere to, so the fouling coefficient of plate heat exchangers is much smaller than that of other types of heat exchangers.
Heat exchange in multiple media
If a plate is set up in the heat exchanger, thermal transfer in three media or more than three can achieved in one device. It is impossible for other types of heat exchanger.
convenient cleaning
When the clamping bolts are unloaded, the bundle is loosened and plates can be unloaded for cleaning.
Easy to change heat exchange area and process
As long as the clamping bolts are loosened and the plates are increased or decreased, the effect of increase or decrease of heat exchange area can be achieved. As long as several necessary plates are set up, the technique process can be achieved or the new condition can be adapted.
