Product Description

 Gasket Plate Heat Exchanger

In a gasketed plate heat exchanger, the plates are fitted with elastomeric gaskets which seal the channels and direct the fluids into alternate channels. The plate pack is assembled between a frame plate and a pressure plate, and compressed by tightening bolts fitted between these plates.
Hygienic Gasketed plate heat exchangers are used for heating and cooling for the food, drink, dairy and pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries; as well as pasteurising and sterilising in the food and drink industries.
By implementing the use of a plate heat exchanger, energy can be transferred between two fluids at different temperatures. This improves efficiency through heat transfer. The energy already in the system can be transferred before it leaves the system
In a gasketed plate heat exchanger, the plates are fitted with elastomeric gaskets which seal the channels and direct the fluids into alternate channels. The plate pack is assembled between a frame plate and a pressure plate, and compressed by tightening bolts fitted between these plates.
Heat Exchanger gaskets are more compressible than sole-metal corrugated types and offer better compensation for flange irregularities when high pressures are to be sealed.
The number of plates in a single exchanger ranges from just ten to several hundred, so reaching surface exchange areas up to thousands of square meters.
A plate heat exchanger is a compact type of heat exchanger that uses a series of thin plates to transfer heat between two fluids. There are four main types of PHE: gasketed, brazed, welded, and semi-welded.
The overall heat transfer co-efficient (U-value) ranges from 4,000 to 9,000 W/m2 · °C in water application, since the plate corrugation provides a highly turbulent flow.
Finned Tube Heat Exchanger Or Air Cooled Heat Exchanger. Suitable for: air/gas to fluid.
Shell And Tube Heat Exchanger. Suitable for: fluid to fluid / fluid to gas. ...
Plate Heat Exchanger Or Gasket Plate Heat Exchanger. Suitable for: fluid to fluid / fluid to vapour.
With a plate heat exchanger, there is a greater surface area in contact with the fluids, so it has better rates of heat transfer compared to all other types. Although plate heat exchangers can be more expensive, the efficiency gained by the design is a big plus.
The "NTU method" is utilized in order to optimize the number of transferred units in the process of exchange of heat. This method is found to be applied in the case of insufficient data gathered from the calculation of LMTD.
LMTD method used when heat exchanegr is design on the basis of temperature condition. And LMTD is used to find the area of total heat exchanger. NTU method used when heat exchanger is design on the basis of area; i.e.area is restricted. And temperature condion are find out by NTU method
When the Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) in a heat exchanger becomes zero, it means that the inlet and outlet temperatures of the hot and cold fluids are equal. This indicates that there is no temperature difference driving the heat transfer process.
Ft is correction factor, on LMTD for co-current and cross-flow heat exchangers. Ft is one for pure countercurrent flow. Minimum value of Ft should be between 0.9 and 0.95. Ft is a measure of heat transfer efficiency and temperature cross.
Often the fouling is a combination of several causes. In the case of water, it may be lime scale and algae leading to a mixture of scale deposits and biofilm on the surfaces. In the case of crude oil, the fouling in a heat exchanger is a mixture of all the impurities in the hydrocarbon.
Fouling factor is dirt factor, typically denoted as (Rd). This is used for calculation of over all heat transfer coefficient (U). Using Rd in Uclean gives you Udirt. Udirt will be smaller than U clean
The surface of the heat exchanger will also have an effect; rough surfaces are known to collect particulates, which increases fouling. The smooth, polished surfaces that can be achieved on tubes made from 304 or 316 stainless steel will also help minimize fouling
There are a variety of cleaning methods available, including chemical cleaning, mechanical cleaning, and high-pressure jet washing. These methods can help to remove dirt, debris, and other buildup from the heat exchanger's surfaces, restoring their efficiency and prolonging their lifespan.
