To achieve maximum profitability in modern process industry, it is important that your company can heat and cool a wide range of substances more efficiently.
Arco International can supply Plate Type Heat Exchangers with all the usual connections for all fields of application (Industry, Power Plants, Building Services, Chemicals, Food Industry, Steel Industry, Textile Industry etc.) Alternative materials and welded designs are also available.
Each unit is assembled and pressure tested in our factory before dispatch. Further tests can also be performed in accordance with customer’s requirements.
Technical data:
• heat exchange surface per plate: 0,04 - 2,00 m²
• max. design pressure: 25 bar
• max. design temperature: 170°C
Safety:
Our plates are provided with double gaskets at the inlet and outlet which prevent mixing of the two media. If designed as safety heat exchanger, double plates are provided with a special sealing system.
• Stainless steel design for food and FDA applications
• Compact double PHE-units including cocks and valves
• Design with welded cassettes (FPG)
Working Principal of High Performance Bolted Version
The basic plate exchanger consist of a series of thin, corrugated plates that are gasketed or welded together (or combination of these) depending on the liquid passing through and on whether it is practical to be able to subsequently separate the plates, for whatever reason. The plates are then compressed together in a rigid frame to creat an arrangement of parallel flow channels. One fluid travels in the odd numbered channels, the other in the even.
Well-known and proven gasket material are available such as:
NBR
EPDM
VITON
Other gasket material can be provided for special application.
The design of the channels also ensure maximum turbulence as each fluid passed through. This results in maximum efficiency in transferring heat from one medium to the other.
Computer programs determine the optimum heat exchange for your operating conditions based on latest technology.
The difference lies on the inside
All Plate Heat Exchangers look Similar from the Outside.
The Detail of the Plate Design and the Sealing technology used matters the Most.
Application of Plate Heat Exchangers
Plate heat exchangers are used for a wide range of applications. Besides use in heating, cooling, refrigeration, hydronic, steam and industrial processes, plate heat exchangers are also found in equipment such as process equipment, chillers, generator, Furnaces and refrigeration equipment. Plate heat exchangers are also commonly utilized in several other residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
