Water Oil heat Exchange Sondex Heat Exchanger Plates S100 S121 S4A Types

Sondex​ Heat Exchanger Plates

Sondex heat exchanger plates work based on the principles of heat transfer through the interaction of two separate fluid streams. The design of Sondex heat exchanger plates allows for efficient heat exchange between the fluids while keeping them physically separated. Here's an overview of how Sondex heat exchanger plates work:

Fluid Flow: The two fluids involved in the heat exchange process flow through separate channels within the plate heat exchanger. One fluid flows through the channels on one side of the heat exchanger plates, while the other fluid flows through the channels on the opposite side.

Heat Transfer: As the fluids flow in their respective channels, heat is transferred from one fluid to the other through the thin metal plates that separate them. The large surface area of the plates facilitates efficient heat transfer between the fluids.

Counterflow Principle: Sondex heat exchanger plates are designed to operate on the principle of counterflow, where the two fluid streams flow in opposite directions. This design maximizes the temperature difference between the two fluids, leading to efficient heat transfer.

Turbulent Flow: The flow paths within the heat exchanger plates are engineered to induce turbulence in the fluid streams. Turbulent flow enhances heat transfer by preventing the formation of boundary layers and promoting mixing between the fluids.

Thermal Efficiency: Sondex heat exchanger plates are designed to optimize thermal efficiency by minimizing pressure drop and maximizing the heat transfer coefficient, resulting in effective heat exchange between the fluids.

Overall, Sondex heat exchanger plates work by providing a reliable and efficient means of transferring heat between two fluid streams, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and residential heating and cooling applications.

Heat Exchanger Plate Material Choose:

• Common tap water:For pure water applications, stainless steel 304 is commonly chosen. However, for well water, river water, closed-loop circulating water, and other complex media, stainless steel 316 is preferred due to its better corrosion resistance compared to 304. In the case of seawater, pure titanium (GR1) is the preferred choice due to the high concentration of chloride ions. Alternatively, for a cost-effective option, super stainless steel 254SMO can be used in chloride ion environments, surpassing the performance of 316 stainless steel.
• Acid:For dilute sulfuric acid with a concentration below 10% and a temperature below 50℃, stainless steel 316 can be used. However, if the concentration is higher, materials such as stainless steel 904L, 254SMO, or Hastelloy alloy C276 are required. The same principle applies to phosphoric acid and hydrochloric acid.
• Steam:Steam conditions are commonly encountered. In the southern regions, stainless steel 316L is typically chosen since steam temperatures are generally above 120℃. In the northern regions, considering cost factors, some customers may opt for stainless steel 304. However, over time, there is a possibility of deformation in the plate heat exchanger.
• Oil:For general equipment lubricating oil and hydraulic oil applications, stainless steel 304 is suitable. For high-temperature heat transfer oil, considering the requirement for high-temperature resistance, stainless steel 316 is recommended.
