Product Description

APV SPX Heat Exchanger Plate for Wide Range of Plate Heat Exchanger Models and Brands

APV/SPX Heat Exchanger Plates

1. Heat exchanger plates are essential components used in heat exchangers to transfer heat between two fluids. Made from materials such as stainless steel, titanium, or nickel alloys, these plates provide high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. Specially designed patterns on the plates promote turbulence and enhance heat transfer efficiency. The plates are assembled in a stack, forming channels for the hot and cold fluids to flow through, enabling efficient heat exchange. Heat exchanger plates play a crucial role in various industries, optimizing heat transfer in HVAC systems, chemical processing, power generation, and refrigeration applications.

2. Products are mainly suitable for Alfalaval/ACCESSEN/GEA (Kelvion)/ APV/ Sondex/ Tranter/ Hisaka/ API/ Funke/ Vicarb/ Mueller/ SWEP/ Fischer/ AGC/ Thermalwave/ ITT/ LHE/ DHP, etc.

Applacations

Production Process:

• Raw material preparation: High-quality stainless steel plates are selected as raw materials due to their excellent corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. The plate thickness is determined based on product specifications and design requirements.
• Cutting and leveling: The stainless steel plates are accurately cut using machine tools to meet the design requirements. After cutting, leveling treatment is performed to ensure a smooth and even surface.
• Stamping: The flattened plates undergo stamping using a hydraulic press to create specific herringbone patterns. The resulting plates have a high turbulence coefficient, promoting efficient heat transfer. Precise control is maintained during the stamping process to prevent plate deformation or damage.
• Surface treatment: The plates undergo surface treatment such as polishing, sandblasting, or coating to enhance corrosion resistance and heat transfer performance. The choice of treatment method depends on specific requirements.
• Assembly and inspection: The plates are assembled according to the design requirements, forming a detachable plate heat exchanger with rubber gasket seals or a fully welded plate heat exchanger through argon arc welding. Tight fitting and absence of gaps are ensured during assembly. A rigorous performance pressure test is conducted after assembly, and a factory report is issued to verify compliance with quality standards

Operating Principle:

plate heat exchanger involves the stacking of metal plates with a certain corrugated shape to create a new type of highly efficient heat exchanger. The structure of the plate heat exchanger includes gaskets, clamping plates (movable end plate, fixed end plate), and a frame (upper and lower guide rods, front support pillar). The plates are sealed and guided by sealing gaskets, creating separate channels for the cold and hot fluids. The cold and hot fluids flow through their respective channels and exchange heat with the adjacent plates to achieve the desired temperature.

Each plate has openings at its four corners, and when assembled into a plate bundle, they form distribution and collection channels for the fluids. After the heat exchange between the cold and hot fluids, they return to their respective collection channels and circulate for reuse.
