Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers (ParaFlow)
Advantages of Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers Compared to Tubular Heat Exchangers
- High Heat Transfer
- Flow efficiency coefficients are 3-5 times higher
- Up to 98% heat recovery and high efficiency operation
- They provide faster response times to replace low fluid retention
- In each passage, the fluids provide fluid flow against each other between parallel passages and gasketed exchangers.
- Economical and Compact
- They take up 90% less space, are lightweight and easy to carry
- e they operate with low volume, they minimize the amount of fluid required, reduce the use of costly fluids in maintenance, and increase reaction times.
- Low capital cost and assembly expenses
- Provides high energy gain by reducing energy costs
- Cleanability
- Reduces contamination from particles and dirt thanks to efficient design of the heat transfer area
- mplified cleaning and plate accessibility
- Suitable for CIP (cleaning in place) use that removes chemical film layers
- Accessibility
- Intervention on both surfaces of the plate for inspection, maintenance and cleaning
- The heat exchanger can be easily accessed in the field
- Flexibility
- Modular design offers heat exchanger diversity according to process capacities
- Multiple tasks and fluid diversity in a single exchanger
- Easily revisionable according to process needs
- They provide the most suitable solutions for your applications with a wide variety of sizes and types.
