HEAT EXCHANGERS

stainless-steel-shell-and-tube-heat-exchangers
Large surface areas and corrugated plates allow   heat exchangers to transfer heat very efficiently. Each plate is pressed with a chevron-shaped design to create high turblent flow, excellent fluid distribution, and to increase surface area. The fluid passages between plates can be very wide, reducing fouling rates significantly.   heat exchangers are ideal when transferring heat between two fluids with similar temperatures and flow rates.
Easy Maintenance
Gasketed heat exchangers are easily disassembled and reassembled to allow for cleaning. Single plates can be removed quickly for cleaning or maintenance, minimizing the inactivity of the heat exchanger. Plate heat exchangers have a high corrosion resistance and a low fouling rate, so they do not require as much maintenance as other heat exchangers. They are also very simple to expand in order to increase flow rate or to use for another application.
Compact Design
Plate heat exchangers are small, yet efficient. It is possible to have a Plate exchanger with the same thermal capacity of a  Shell & Tube heat exchanger  five times its size. The compact design conserves space in the heat exchanger environment, as well as material cost. Plate heat exchangers are available in a variety of sizes and materials to suit many different applications and industries.
Cost-efficient
heat exchangers are smaller and use less material to produce, so they are often the most effective economic choice for a heat transfer task. Plate and gasket materials are tailored according to the desired application, so that the heat exchanger will fit design and fluid accommotions. Thanks to advanced gasket design and welded plates, plate heat exchangers also lose very little fluid; making them ideal for transferring expensive and caustic fluids. Plate exchangers can easily be expanded to suit new applications or increase flow rate, often negating the need to purchase a new heat exchanger.
Materials
heat exchangers are available in a wide variety of materials, designed to fit specific applications. Plates are available in: Stainless Steel, Titanium, Titanium-Palladium, Nickel, Hastelloy, Inconel, Tantalum, SMO-254, and Incoloy 825, selected for their durability and efficient heat transfer qualities. Gaskets are available in Nitrile, EPDM, Viton, and Compressed Fiber, with Glued or Clip-on designs.
