M15B M15M Hight Theta Heat Exchanger Plate With Gasket For Optimal Cooling

Heat Exchanger Plates

A heat exchanger plate, also known as a plate heat exchanger, is a device used to transfer heat between two fluid streams. It consists of a series of metal plates arranged in a way that allows for efficient heat exchange between the fluids while keeping them physically separated.

The key components of a heat exchanger plate include:

Plates: The plates are typically made of stainless steel, titanium, or other materials suitable for heat transfer applications. They are designed with specific patterns of channels and passageways to facilitate heat exchange.

Gaskets or Welding: In gasketed plate heat exchangers, the plates are sealed with gaskets to prevent fluid leakage between the channels. In welded plate heat exchangers, the plates are permanently sealed together, eliminating the need for gaskets.

Frame and Connections: The plates are stacked together and clamped into a frame, which provides support and facilitates the connection of the fluid inlet and outlet ports.

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

Applacations

Plate heat exchanger plate thickness configuration

• AISI 304 is usually 0.4 or 0.5 mm thickness
• AISI 316 is always 0.5 and 0.6 mm
• 254 SMO (high alloy) typically 0.6 mm
• Titanium plates are always 0.5 and 0.6 mm
• Some have thicker plates (for high pressure applications)
• Some PHEs have 0.4 mm (low pressure operation)
• Hastelloy C-276 (nickel alloy) typically 0.6 mm

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.
