Plate heat exchangers are manufactured in counter-flow principle, with parallel connection position. Generally the heat dissipating medium (hot side) passes the unit "left at the top" (F1) and flows out "left at the bottom" (F4). The heat absorbing medium (cold side) passes the heat exchanger "right at the bottom" (F3) and flows out "right at the top" (F2).
( Applies when looking at the front view of the plate heat exchanger, 1-pass design and single-phase flow. )
The plate package consists of a defined number of single, profiled stainless steel plates (further materials are available as well) with high thermal efficiency and circumferential Elastomer gaskets, which are fixed and guided in the upper and lower supporting rod and are pressed by means of tightening bolts between connection plate and pressure plate. Frame design and calculation according to AD Richtlinien. Furthermore, frames are pre-inspected by TÜV.
