Advantages

  • Very compact design
  • High heat transfer coefficients (2 – 4 times shell & tube designs)
  • Expandable by adding plates
  • Ease of maintenance
  • Plates manufactured in many alloys
  • All connections are at one end of the exchanger
  • Good temperature approaches
  • Fluid residence time is very short
  • No dead spots
  • Leakage (if it should occur) is generally to the outside – not between the fluids
  • Low fouling due to high turbulence
