Gasketed – Industrial Plate Heat Exchangers

Plate Heat Exchangers Construction

Body-Frame

The part that holds the Plate Bundle properly and ensures that the gaskets are squeezed within the plate bundle.

Body Elements

• Front and rear body
• Upper and lower carrying bar
• Studs
• Rear Carrying leg

Platepack

Platepack is a collection of plates between the front and rear body, arranged in a certain order and forming the heat transfer area, with the help of studs given a geometry that will increase heat transfer.

• Edge inlets allow hot and cold fluids to pass between the plates.
• Gaskets located along the edges of the plates prevent the fluids from mixing and the exchanger from leaking the fluids out.
• A wide range of plate geometry and thickness ensures optimum thermal efficiency and capacity.
• As a result of joining the plates at different angles, it is possible to obtain high turbulence and film coefficient even at low flow rates.
• It is available in our channel plate designs for fluids containing particles.
• The plate material is designed depending on the type and temperature of the fluids.
• Providing solutions with high heat transfer to different processes thanks to single and multi-pass plate arrays

By combining the plates pressed at different angles, it is possible to obtain different flow rates in a single Plate Heat Exchanger, and the thermal efficiency and heat transfer capacity can be increased.

Gaskets

Thanks to the gaskets nested in the transition points of the plates, the gap between the two fluids is double sealed. Thus, mixing of fluids with each other is absolutely prevented.

Welded Plate Pairs

APV’s laser welded plate pairs have a wide range of plates for the chemical processes and refrigeration industry. Therefore, it is a suitable alternative to all other welded and tube heat exchangers. Plate pairs are suitable for evaporation and condensation applications. It is a suitable solution for aggressive fluids against sealing in the chemical industry.

APV HYBRID

It provides a heating surface density of 250 m2/m3 with its compact design. It provides heat transfer in gases as well as special fluids. Another advantage over tube heat exchangers is the high economic efficiency of the APV HYBRID Heat Exchanger. Significant cost reductions are possible by using less material with higher grade alloys. – Working conditions -200°C +900°C) – Working pressure: 60 bar

• Completely gasketless
• 6000 m2 Heat transfer area per unit
• igh heat transfer even at low pressure losses
• Self-cleaning with high turbulence

Duo Safety Plate Heat Exchangers

APV’s Duo safety Plate system will provide you with protection against mixing fluids within the plates as a result of plate cracks. Thus, the leakage in the plate cracks will be forced out of the plate heat exchanger. This patented product arises from the formation of a single plate by joining two identical plates to each other without welding. Each double plate is sealed with a non-adhesive Para-Clip gasket.

Other Advantages

• 100% visual detection
• The plates can be separated for easy cleaning on both sides during cleaning.
• Flexibility to use different Gasket and Plate material in plate pairs, For example: Stainless Steel / Titanium plates or EPDM / Viton gaskets
