Advantages
High heat transfer coefficient
Plate heat exchanger provide high rates of heat transfer, due to the turbulence inducting shape of the plates. Highly turbulent flow promotes high heat transfer.
Low temperature differences
Low temperature differences of as little as 1° C Regeneration rate of 95% are possible.
Less fouling and scaling
Because of the high turbulence and smooth surfaces.
Low space requirements
Plate heat exchanger is compact. Space for installation is less than the other heat exchanger.
Low liquid hold up
Gaps of plate heat exchanger are narrow, so liquid volume in plate heat exchanger is low.
Easy to maintain
Easy access to any plate in the pack, fast cleaning, gaskets you can change quickly and easily yourself. Save time, trouble and money.
Low heat losses
Because of only the plate edge are exposed to atmosphere so insulation is not require.
Cost savings
Plate heat exchangers save costs, with their high efficiency, low investment, compact installation and simple maintenance.
Easy access
Full accessibility to both sides of each plate for inspection or cleaning.
Adaptability
Plate heat exchanger can be removed, added or rearranged for new process requirement or new duties.
No mixing
Gaskets are arranged to give a double seal between the fluid streams and make intermixing impossible.
