Gasketed plate heat exchangers Efficient heat transfer Gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchangers (GPHEs) provide efficient heat transfer in compact equipment with a small footprint - much smaller and more efficient than shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Plate heat exchangers are designed to optimize heat transfer, because the corrugated plates provide by far the greatest surface area through which the heat can be drawn from one gas or liquid to the other. The units also have a flexible design and are easy to service and maintain. Gasketed plate heat exchangers benefits: ·          Precision heat transfer - closer approach temperature, true counter current flow, 80-90% less hold-up volume ·          Low overall cost - low capital investment, reduced installation costs, limited maintenance and operating costs ·          Maximum reliability - less fouling, st...

In a gasketed plate heat exchanger, the plates are fitted with elastomeric gaskets which seal the channels and direct the fluids into alternate channels. The plate pack is assembled between a frame plate and a pressure plate, and compressed by tightening bolts fitted between these plates. The channel plates and the pressure plate are suspended from an upper carrying bar and located by a lower guiding bar, both of which are fixed to the support column. The physical design of the gasketed plate heat exchanger allows easy cleaning and modification of capacity by the addition or removal of plates.   ·          Liquid/Liquid GPHE   ·          Steam heater GPHE   ·          Liquid/Liquid 2-pass GPHE     Liquid/Liquid GPHE This animation above shows the working principle of an Alfa Laval liquid/liquid 1-pass gasketed plate-and-frame heat ...
