The plate heat exchanger is a device in which heat is transferred from a hot coolant to a cold medium through plates. This hybrid model of a heat exchanger is a combination of perfect heat transfer and compact size.
It's designed for supplements with temperate flows such as 12 m /h (53 usg/min).
Design
The main elements of the heat exchanger are heat transfer plates made of corrosion-resistant alloys with a thickness of about 0.4-1.0 mm. In the working position, the plates are tightly pressed against each other and form slotted channels. On the front side of each plate, a rubber contour gasket is installed in special grooves to ensure the tightness of the channels.
Suitable products:
- water
- juices
- soft drinks
- syrups
- milkÂ
- condensed milk
- sunflower oilsÂ
Advantages:
- sealed by gasketsÂ
- compact size
- perfect heat transfer
- doesn't need a support frame
- variability of materials for plate making
- allows accurate customization
