Description

Heat exchangers are used to transfer heat between two media. Gasketed plate heat exchangers are high performance components and provide a high level of efficiency combined with compact dimensions. They also have a high degree of flexibility. For higher capacity ranges this series is a useful supplement to the brazed version.

Features

The gasketed plate heat exchanger consists of a pack of individual, embossed heat transfer plates made of stainless steel 1.4401 (AISI 316), 1.4306 (AISI 304). The plates are sealed and the media kept separate by using gaskets in nitrile rubber (NBR) or optionally FKM (Viton) or EPDM.
The plate pack is installed in a frame which consists of a fixed plate and a pressure plate, tightening bolts and supports. There are several sizes with different numbers of plates available to cover the capacity range.
The heat exchanger is connected inline via threaded or flange connections. Depending on the application, special models are available with higher grade materials (Titanium). For such applications, please contact the relevant department.

Operating Details

Fluids:

• Water glycol (coolants)
• HFC operating fluids
• Water
• Oil

Contamination:

The quantity of particles in suspension should be less than 10 mg/l. Particle size < 0.6 mm (spherical). Thread–like particles cause a rapid rise in pressure drops.

Temperature Range: max. 284°F (140°C)

Pressure:

• max. 145 psi (10 bar)
• max. 232 psi (16 bar)
• max. 363 psi (25 bar)

Note: Pressure surges must be avoided.
