Plate Heat Exchanger Standard Design
The plate heat exchanger consists of a number of thin corrugated
metal plates.
The plate corrugations form flow channels for the heat exchanging
fluids and provide strength to the compressed plate pack.
The plates contain ports for fluid inlets, outlets and interconnect
passages as required.
Gaskets are attached to the plates, forming a seal between the heat
exchanging fluids and the surroundings.
In the below shown here, the cold fluid(blue) enters at the bottom
and the hot fluid (red) at the top.
Plate Heat Exchanger Feature/ Advantages
| Feature | Advantages | What's in it for you! |
| A | Distrubution Area | Efficient Flow Distribution | Prevents Mal-Distribution |
