Plate heat exchangers

Plate heat exchangers use corrugated plates stacked between a fixed and a movable pressure plate. Since basically any material is used for heat transfer, plate heat exchangers can provide very large heat transfer surface on small area.

It is not uncommon for a plate heat exchanger to have the same thermal capacity as a shell and tube heat exchanger five times larger. The design is developed with advanced design solutions that ensure long lifetime and high performance.

With a compact design and outputs from 125 kW, 130 kW, 135 kW, 150 kW up to 210 kW, plate heat exchangers are well suited for boilers, process heat or HVAC systems.

Applications of plate heat exchangers

• District heating and cooling: Highly efficient energy transfer, ideal for local and central heating networks.
• Food and beverage production: Stainless steel plate heat exchangers meet the highest hygiene requirements.
• Chemical industry and pharmaceuticals: High media resistance and thermal efficiency make the technology ideal as an industrial heat exchanger.
• HVAC and building services engineering: Reliable heat transfer in heating and cooling systems with refrigerants.
• Process industry and civil engineering: Robust stainless steel construction for demanding operating conditions.

Technical advantages of plate heat exchangers

Unique wave structure in the plates creates turbulent flow and optimal fluid distribution, maximizing heat transfer.

True countercurrent principle and high heat transfer coefficients allow plate heat exchangers to work energy efficiently even at extreme temperature differences.

High-quality gaskets and a glueless fastening system ensure reliable sealing and easy servicing.

Compact design with low fill volumes provides fast response to temperature variations and reduces consumption of expensive process fluids.

The number of plates can be flexibly adjusted - a crucial advantage for optimal dimensioning and choosing the right model.
