What is a plate-type heat exchanger?
Plate heat exchangers have a widespread application due to their efficiency and ease of maintenance. A heat exchanger is used to transfer heat between two media. It has several parallel plates arranged above each other to create a passage that fluids can flow between without mixing. Spaces between the panels provide a space for the fluids to flow through. One fluid heats the plates, and heat is transferred to the fluid with the lower temperature from the plates. The components of a plate-to-plate heat exchanger include inlets and outlets where the flowing mediums can enter or leave the exchanger gaskets, and plates separate the flowing medium. The plates hang on a carry bar and are compressed using a clamping bolt.
How does the Alfa Laval plate heat exchanger work?
Plate heat exchangers come in various types, including shell and tube heat exchangers. However, the working principle of all plate-to-plate heat exchangers from Alfa Laval is the same. A heat exchanger has two flowing mediums at different temperatures. For instance, the hot medium could be cooled by the cold medium or vice versa. When the hot medium enters the heat exchanger, it is directed through gaskets arranged in an alternating pattern. When the hot medium fills the plates, the cold-flowing medium flows into the spaces left by the hot-flowing fluid. The flow process is continuous, causing constant heat exchange without the fluid mixing. The hot medium heats the plates, and heat is continuously transferred to the cold-flowing medium.
