Plate Type Heat Exchanger (PHE) Functional Description
A plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that uses metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. This has a significant advantage over conventional heat exchangers in that the liquid is exposed to a much larger surface area as it spreads over the plates. This facilitates heat transfer and greatly increases the temperature change rate. SS plate heat exchanger is made of 100% stainless steel and provides efficient heat transfer with a small footprint.
They are maintenance free and provide a long service lifetime. They are suited in applications which put high demand on cleanliness, applications where aggressive media such as ammonia are used or where copper and nickel contamination is not accepted. Can handle very high temperatures or extremely high pressure.
Our experience and knowledge of processes in beverage industries help us to manufacture high efficiency and maintenance friendly plate heat exchangers.
In these applications the PHE must be completely stainless steel or covered with stainless steel to ensure hygiene. The frames of our sanitary plate heat exchangers are either solid stainless steel or clad with SS 304 or SS316L sheet. Frames can be designed with intermediate frames that divide the plate heat exchanger into different sections that can be preheated, pasteurized and cooled.
The frames are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. As usual, these frames offer the possibility to add or reduce panels.
Plates are designed for gentle handling of the food products like juice, soft drink, beer, wine etc. for superior output quality. Gaskets are always clip-on type.
Our sanitary plate heat exchangers are also available as multi-stage PHEs, combining multiple PHEs into one, saving costs and valuable space.
Plate heat exchangers are important to the food and beverage industry. Used for heating and cooling before processing, concentration, drying and bottling of various products. Not only do they provide heating and cooling, but they play an important part in eliminating the microbial, keeping the food products safe to consume and increasing their shelf life.
