Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers

Heat Exchangers in the Process Industry

Plate Heat Exchangers (PHE) have been used since the 1960's by the process industry for a range of heating and cooling duties associated with heat recovery, with the aim of maximizing process efficiency. Additional reason for using PHE's as opposed to the alternative Shell and Tube are low temperature approach capabilities, space and economy savings. Plate heat exchangers consist of a series of corrugated plates with a peripheral gasket that are held within a steel frame. All liquid contact surfaces are manufactured in stainless steel that eliminates corrosion due to aggressive media. If stainless steel is not suitable other higher grade materials are available, such as Titanium or Hastalloy.
Gasket selection is also considered for each application, such as Nitrile, RCB, EPDM, Viton

DHT Plate Heat Exchangers are Work Cover Approved and manufactured to ISO 9001 quality standards. Products meet international heat exchange standards.

Features Of The PHE



High Performance : 

The total heat transfer co-efficient of the PHE is 2,000?6,00O Kcal/m2/hrC. The value is 3 to 10 times higher than the traditional shell and tube heat exchanger.

High Economic Tendency: 

The PHE can maximise energy transfer efficiently from the unique combination of high turbulence and thin plate technology for any given unit size.

Maintenance costs are also reduced due to it'scompact size.

Variety of Options:

The PHE has been developed to allow many types of plates and gaskets for a large number of applications.

Changing the number of plates or configuration of the plate pack allows for a change in duty requirements in the shortest possible time. 

Maintenance is also greatly simplified, should
Re-gasketing or the cleaning of the plate surfaces be required.

Excellent versatility :

The PHE can carry out many kinds of processes from ice making, cooling, heating and condensing or evaporation, with one set of suitable plates

Performance:
Backed by a large engineering based manufacturer with the newest plate presses in the industry. Extensive R&D is continuing to ensure that an ever larger range of units is made available to meet customer requirements exactly. Thermal Calculations are undertaken using advanced industry standard parameters. Extensive contacts and reference sites in countries such as Kuwait, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea over 25 years, in the most exacting industries is testament to the long term quality and performance of these world class Plate Heat Exchanges .
