A plate exchanger consists of a series of parallel plates that are placed one above the other so as to allow the formation of a series of channels for fluids to flow between them. The space between two adjacent plates forms the channel in which the fluid flows.
Heat exchangers are usually designed for a lifetime of 20 or 25 years. In fact, they are often in service for much longer.
Processing capacity: 0.1 m3/h to 7,300 m3/h Working pressure: max. 4.0MPaG Working temperature: max. 180°C Heat transfer area: 0.18 m2/unit to 3,400 m2/unit Plate material: Stainless steel: 304, 316, 315J1, 317, Etc
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 standard pressure rating for SWEP brazed plate heat exchangers, i.e. maximum operating pressure, is 31 bar. SWEP's standard maximum operating temperature is 185°C for copper-brazed brazed plate heat exchangers, and 350°C for all-stainless brazed plate heat exchangers.
