Plate heat exchanger is composed of fixed pressure plate, flexible
pressure plate,top and bottom guid bars,back post, support
foot,heat exchanger plate,gasket,roller, tightening bolt,nut, lock
washer and frame foot.
Principle & Feature
Flat plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that uses
metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. This has a major
advantage over a conventional heat exchanger in that the fluids are
exposed to a much larger surface area because the fluids spread out
over the plates. This facilitates the transfer of heat, and greatly
increases the speed of the temperature change. Plate heat
exchangers are now common and very small brazed versions are used
in the hot-water sections of millions of combination boilers. The
high heat transfer efficiency for such a small physical size has
increased the domestic hot water (DHW) flow rate of combination
boilers. The small plate heat exchanger has made a great impact in
domestic heating and hot-water. Larger commercial versions use
gaskets between the plates.
