Gasketed heat exchanger

Plate Heat Exchanger

Plate heat exchangers utilize corrugated plates stacked between a fixed and movable pressure plate. The corrugation patterns alternate for maximum operating pressures. As virtually all of the material is used for heat transfer, plate heat exchangers can have large amounts of effective heat transfer surface in a small footprint. It is not uncommon that a plate heat exchanger will have the same thermal capacity as a shell and tube five times larger.

The unique corrugation pattern pressed onto each of our CoolSummer thermal plate produces the highest overall heat transfer rate by assuring highly turbulent flow and excellent fluid distribution across the entire surface. With heat transfer rates and true counter current flow, our d plate heat exchangers economically handle close temperature approach requirements.

OPERATING PARAMETERS

Highest quality gaskets precisely fit the plate grooves for positive sealing and ease of maintenance. CoolSummer plate heat exchangers incorporates superior design features to ensure long term customer satisfaction.

• Superior clip-on gasket design ensures proper fit during closing of the unit
• Double sealing design prevents the possibility of mixing the two process fluids. Leak detect feature ensures any leakage is to the atmosphere.
• Zinc coated hardware provides long life
• All plate pack tightening is done from the fixed pressure plate to eliminate any stud interference
• All bolted construction for easier service
• Low volumetric fluid hold-up provides quicker response to heating and cooling demands, while reducing costs for more expensive process fluids
• Readily expanded for greater capacities, or totally new applications
