Wide-gap plate heat exchanger
A heat exchanger developed for the heating, cooling, and heat exchange of fluids containing fibers and particles.
Wide gap plate heat exchangers were developed for the purpose of heat exchange with fluids containing fibers or coarse particles, as well as fluids with high viscosity. They accommodate fluids that tend to clog in conventional "plate" or other types of heat exchangers with wide gap channels (flow paths) of 16mm or 22mm. This design prevents blockages within the unit even with fluids that are prone to clogging, significantly reducing the frequency of cleaning. Furthermore, the unique wavy plates generate advanced turbulence in the fluid, dramatically enhancing heat exchange efficiency.
basic information
■□■Features■□■ ■You can choose a "wide gap" of 16mm or 22mm to match the fluid. ■It accommodates liquids containing fibers and coarse particles, as well as high-viscosity fluids. ■It has high heat exchange efficiency and performs well even with a small temperature difference between the two fluids. ■Lightweight and compact, it requires less maintenance space, helping to reduce initial and running costs. ■Unlike multi-tube heat exchangers, it does not require frequent cleaning and can operate continuously for long periods. ■Inspection and cleaning of the plates can be easily done by removing the tightening bolts, and the operational capacity can be easily adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of plates. ■□■For more details, please request materials or download the catalog■□■
