The plate heat exchangers are the equipment that is employed to transfer heat between two fluids without their mixing. These liquids are pumped between corrugated plates that may be gasketed, brazed or welded together to create a small and efficient heat transfer system.
The plates are stacked to create channels, allowing hot and cold fluids to flow alternately. This setup ensures that heat moves efficiently from one fluid to the other. Proper separation of the fluids, often maintained by seals, prevents mixing. When the fluids move in opposite directions, it is called the countercurrent principle, which is the most common method. In other cases, fluids flow in the same direction, following the parallel flow principle. Some fully welded plate heat exchangers may use the cross-flow principle instead. Across all designs, the unique corrugated pattern of the plates creates a turbulent flow, which improves heat transfer efficiency.

In principle, all of our plate heat exchangers function similarly. Depending on the purpose for which the heat exchanger is needed, they may differ in configuration, structure and materials used. Brazed plate heat exchangers are small and compact and used preferably within the HVAC industry and refrigeration industry. Gasketed plate heat exchangers can be flexibly adapted and, if necessary, extended to optimally meet our customer's requirements. Welded plate heat exchangers, in comparison, are designed for high pressure and temperatures, thus preferably used in oil and gas applications.
Just ask us - we will gladly advise you with selecting the most suitable plate heat exchanger for your application or show you the suitable service solution.
