What are the design characteristics of a plate heat exchanger?
1. Energy saving: The heat transfer coefficient of 3000 ~ 4500 KCAL/M2H is 3~5 times higher than that of a shell and tube heat exchanger.
2. Compact structure: The plates of the plate heat exchanger are arranged closely, and compared with other types of heat exchangers, the plate heat exchanger occupies less space and smaller footprint; the plate heat exchanger with the same area is only one fifth of the tube heat exchanger.

3. Easy to clean and disassemble. The plate heat exchanger is fixed with fixed bolts to clamp the plates, which is convenient to disassemble and can be opened for cleaning at any time. At the same time, the plate surface is clean, the turbulence is high, so it is not easy to get dirty.
4. Long lifespan: The plate heat exchanger is pressed down by stainless steel or titanium plates, which can withstand various corrosive media, and the pads can be freely replaced, making disassembly and maintenance convenient.
5. Strong adaptability: The plate type is an independent component, which can be increased or decreased according to needs, with diverse forms. It can be applied to various process requirements.
6. When the liquid does not flow, the plate heat exchanger is installed with a sealed tank and a discharge channel, and various media do not communicate with each other. Even if leakage occurs, the media will always be discharged outwards.
What are the application fields of plate heat exchangers?
