New Specialist Heat Exchangers

Gasketed plate heat exchangers are limited by two factors, the maximum pressure and maximum temperature the gasket material can with stand. Once this is reached your only alternative up until a few years ago was to move over to a shell and tube design. This caused the usual problems with increased physical size of unit and increased cost. That was until the all welded plate heat exchanger came in to being. The welded plate heat exchanger combines the best features of both conventional plate heat exchangers and shell and tube units. It has the advantages that it can handle liquids, gases and two-phase mixtures at very high pressures at both low and high temperatures.

The other advantages of this type of heat exchanger construction:

• Choice of materials to suit application or service conditions.
• Plates available in Titanium, Stainless steel or other alloys.
• High heat transfer coefficient and greater overall efficiency.
• Compact design and low weight compared to shell & tube.
• Fully welded and therefore no leaks.

Typical applications for these units:

• High temperature thermal oil processing.
• Edible oil processing
• Organic chemical heaters.
• Refrigeration evaporators & condensers
• De-ionized water cooling systems.
• Heat recovery units – de-superheaters
• Offshore oil and gas applications.
