Special gasket design that prevents mixing of fluids:
Mixing of fluids for any reason is completely prevented thanks to the special gasket design. In case of any gasket failure, the flow is directly outward from the part open to the atmosphere. This can be detected externally.
Low weight and small installation volume thanks to its compact design:
Plate heat exchangers occupy 20-30% of the volume occupied by a tube heat exchanger of the same capacity. This provides a smaller volume and lower investment cost.
High efficiency – low cost thanks to full turbulence: In plate heat exchangers, high turbulent flow is created by the special shapes on the plates in the flow channels formed by the plates, which ensures high heat transfer coefficients to be achieved. These high heat transfer coefficients obtained provide lower costs by reducing the amount of material used in the heat exchanger.
Ability to easily increase capacity: Due to the modular structure of plate heat exchangers, the capacity can be increased by easily adding plates.
Lower maintenance costs: In plate heat exchangers, maintenance can be carried out without the need for any additional space, simply by removing the studs and easily accessing the heat transfer plates. In tube type heat exchangers, on the other hand, an additional space is needed as much as the volume used to take the tube bundle out.
