SS316 Heat Exchanger Plate For Replacement Of Vicarb GEA APV Sondex And More

Vicarb Heat Exchanger Plates

1. The plate heat exchanger is a new and efficient heat exchanger composed of a series of heat exchanger plates with a specific corrugated shape. The metal plates are pressed to form heat transfer plates with a certain corrugated pattern. They are sealed around the edges with gaskets, creating thin rectangular channels between the various plates. The four corner holes of the plates and gaskets serve as distribution and collection channels for the fluids. They also effectively separate the hot and cold fluids, allowing them to flow on either side of each plate in the respective flow channels, facilitating heat exchange through the plates.
2. The products are mainly suitable for replacement of spare parts for international brand plate heat exchangers such as GEA (Kelvion)/ APV/ Sondex/ Tranter/ Hisaka/ API/ Funke/ Vicarb/ Mueller/ SWEP/ Fischer/ AGC/ Thermalwave/ ITT/ LHE/ DHP.

Plate heat exchanger plate thickness configuration

• AISI 304 is usually 0.4 or 0.5 mm thickness
• AISI 316 is always 0.5 and 0.6 mm
• 254 SMO (high alloy) typically 0.6 mm
• Titanium plates are always 0.5 and 0.6 mm
• Some have thicker plates (for high pressure applications)
• Some PHEs have 0.4 mm (low pressure operation)
• Hastelloy C-276 (nickel alloy) typically 0.6 mm

Heat exchanger plate cleaning

• Mechanical cleaning

Use mechanical devices, such as rotating brushes or high-pressure water jets, to clean the surface of the plates. This method can effectively remove dirt and sediment attached to the panels.

• Chemical cleaning

Use chemical reagents, such as acid or alkaline solutions, to clean the plate surface. This method can effectively remove some dirt and deposits that are difficult to clean, but it needs to be used with caution to avoid corrosion or damage to the plate material.

• Steam cleaning

High-temperature and high-pressure steam is introduced into the plate heat exchanger to evaporate and wash away dirt and sediment on the surface of the plates. This method is suitable for situations where you do not want to use chemical reagents for cleaning, but you need to pay attention to the heat resistance and pressure resistance requirements of the plate material.

• Ultrasonic cleaning

Ultrasonic vibrations are used to deliver cleaning fluid to the plate surface, thereby removing dirt and deposits. This method is suitable for parts that have higher requirements on plate materials and are not easily accessible.
