LT FRESH WATER COOLER Heat exchanger, common used in oil industry, SS316 0.5mm NBR Plate heat exchanger H17

H17 Operating Principle

The plate heat exchanger consists of a number of thin corrugated metal plates. The plate corrugations form flow channels for the heat exchanging fluids and provide strength to the compressed plate pack. The plates contain ports for fluid inlets, outlets and interconnect passages as required. Gaskets are attached to the plates, forming a seal between the heat exchanging fluids and the surroundings. In the example shown here, the cold fluid enters at the bottom and the hot fluid at the top.

Frame

The plates are clamped together to a predetermined dimension by the tie bars between two thick metal slabs: a stationary slab (head) and a moveable slab (follower). Connections for the fluid inlets and outlets can be made on either slab. The plates are hung on the top bar and guided by the bottom bar. An end column supports the top and bottom bar ends.

Sanitary plate heat exchangers

Frames used for sanitary or hygienic duties are fabricated in solid stainless steel or carbon steel with stainless steel covering. Standard connections are usually sanitary tube fittings. Industrial fittings may be supplied when required. Plates may be either parallel flow or diagonal flow.
