Hisaka LX595/LX515/LX50​ Model Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger Spare Parts for Vessel

LX595/LX515 Model Plate Heat Exchanger Basic Structure

Heat transfer plates are made by pressing thin sheets of corrosion - resistant metal such as stainless steel or titanium, then set them with seal gaskets and hang sand pile them on the guide bar. The, plates are tightened with bolts between the fixed frame and the movable frame. Here, there is a certain gap between the heat transfer plates that allows liquid to flow. The liquid inlets and outlets are in the fixed frame or the movable frame.

Plate Heat Exchanger Features

Heat Transfer Plates

Each heat transfer plate is corrugated to various patterns to increase its strength and heat transfer area. Furthermore, the corrugation creates high turbulence and thereby achieve high heat transfer coefficient. The plate is provided with passage hole on each corner. Each plate is tight-sealed with a gasket fitted in its peripheral groove.



Flow Channel

The plates are divided into A-plate and B-plate, and a passage is formed between these plates. The high temperature fluid flows alternately and in the opposite direction of the other fluid. Thus high efficient transfer of heat is achieved through these plates.
A-plate when reversed would become B-plate. As such only one type of plate can be used as A-plate and B-plate for most models.


Easy Maintenance

The plate heat exchanger can be easily opened for inspection and maintenance by loosening the tightening bolts and nuts. Assembly and opening of the unit are also easily performed.

Less Installation Space

The lightweight and compact construction saves the installation space to 1/4 and the weight to 1/3 of shell & tube heat exchanger respectively. In addition, lightweight and thin heating plate with less liquidhold facilitates the installation work. The Plate Heat Exchanger can be disassembled for cleaning without piping work, while the shell & tube heat needs a additional space for drawing out the tube bundle.
