Plate heat exchangers are widely used across industry; we can offer assistance with selection on any size unit whether it is a replacement, or new project.
When To Consider Plate Heat Exchangers
There are many situations for which a plate heat exchanger can become your best technical and business solution compared to a shell & tube unit. As long as the operating temperatures and pressures do not exceed 180°C (356°F) or 27.5 bar (400 psi), a plate heat exchanger is worth a look, particularly if you need:
- More heat transfer or you are evaluating an expansion within a tight footprint...
- The most compact heat exchanger on the market...
- The most economical heat exchanger solution available...
- A high alloy material to withstand corrosion...
- To save energy and recover heat from a low grade waste stream...
- A long thermal duty or close temperature approach solution.
Especially if you are not quite sure about your heat load, or you anticipate a need more heat transfer capacity soon, a flexible, modular plate heat exchanger will conserve precious capital today and certainly tomorrow.
