PLATE HEAT EXCHANGERS
The extensive UK Exchangers range of Plate Heat Exchangers provides compact thermally efficient solutions to your heat transfer requirements.Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers
Types of Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers:-
Industrial / Marine
Over 25 plate sizes from 0.04 m? to 2.5m?, and connection sizes from 25 mm to 500 mm, ensure that we offer the most efficient cost effective designs.
Plates are available in AISI 304 & 316 stainless steel and titanium as standard, with gaskets in nitrile, EPDM or Viton.
Hygienic
Specifically designed for use in the food, dairy, brewing and pharmaceutical industries.
Major features include:-
· Sanitary plate design to achieve optimum distribution of the product over the entire plate surface
· Stainless steel frames with hygienic connections
· Clip-on glue free gaskets
Typical applications include:-
· Multi-Section Pasteurisers for milk, fruit juices, beer, vegetable oil etc
· General heating and cooling duties
· Steam heating of water and CIP solutions
Double Wall
The double wall plate is designed for use in applications when extra security is required, to ensure that the primary and secondary fluids in the exchanger cannot mix in the event of a plate failure.
A plate failure in a conventional Plate Heat Exchanger results in fluid crossing over from one side to the other. With a double wall plate the single plate is replaced with two plates pressed together.
In the event of a crack in one of the plates, fluid will leak out between the double plates to atmosphere, resulting in a visible leak rather than contamination of the other fluid.
Typical applications include:-
· Sanitary water for food processing
· Ultra pure water
· Water for injection
· Food product heating and cooling
· Transformer oil cooling
Wide Gap Free Flow
Our range of Wide Gap Free Flow Plate Heat Exchangers has flow paths with no metal to metal contact between adjacent plates. This makes them ideal for fluids containing particles, pulp or fibres that would quickly block a conventional Plate Heat Exchanger. Applications include:
· Effluent water heat recovery
· Paper mill waste water cooling
· Dye house water heating and cooling
· Quench tank oil cooling
