A gasket-plate heat exchanger (also known as a plate-and-frame heat exchanger) is a highly efficient device used to transfer heat between two fluids without mixing them. It consists of a series of thin, corrugated metal plates stacked together, sealed with gaskets, and held within a frame. Each plate creates a flow channel, allowing fluids to pass in alternating channels—hot fluid on one side of a plate and cold fluid on the other—facilitating heat transfer through the plate material.
Gasket plate heat exchangers have a wide range of applications, a few of which are:
The hot and cold fluids flow through alternate channels, guided by the gaskets. The thin plates and turbulent flow created by the corrugated design enable efficient heat exchange, transferring heat from the hotter fluid to the cooler one. The counterflow or parallel flow arrangement optimizes thermal efficiency. Plates: Made from materials like stainless steel, titanium, or nickel, the plates are designed with corrugations to increase turbulence, enhance heat transfer, and maximize surface area. Gaskets: Elastomeric or synthetic seals (e.g., EPDM, Nitrile) direct fluid flow and prevent leakage, allowing easy disassembly for maintenance or reconfiguration. Frame: A sturdy frame compresses the plates, ensuring a tight seal and structural integrity under high pressure and temperature.
Typically suited for lower to moderate pressures and temperatures due to gasket constraints. Gaskets may degrade over time, requiring periodic replacement.Certain aggressive fluids may require specialized gaskets or plate materials.Gasket-plate heat exchangers are widely valued for their efficiency, compact size, and adaptability, making them a preferred choice in industries requiring precise and reliable heat transfer.
Unmatched Performance and Durability
Our gasket plate heat exchanger is designed for optimal thermal efficiency and long-term reliability, backed by 20 years of manufacturing expertise.
High heat transfer efficient:
The fluid enters the plate heatexchanger and passes throughthe inlet pipe into the firstplate group.
Easy to disassemble forcleaning:
This easy-to-maintain featuremakes the equipment lastlonger and reduces mainte-nance costs.
Easy to change the heatexchange area:
Each plate group increases theefficiency of the heat exchangebecause the fluid has more timeto contact the plates and exchangeheat.
Conservation of resources:
Due to its efficient heat transferand compact design, gasketedplate heat exchanger requiresless cooling water and footprint,reducing the waste of resources.
