cross flow plate heat exchanger

In the petrochemical industry the installation of tubular heat exchangers has been predominant for many decades. However, for some years now, sealed and fully-welded plate heat exchangers are finding more and more of a share in this market segment. These heat exchangers are exceptionally suitable for heat recovery tasks or the condensation of solvents. Plate heat exchangers with high pressures, temperatures, special materials and, in particular, special sealing qualities, are finding applications in petrochemical production processes.

Our plate heat exchangers are designed to provide you worry-free, highly efficient heat transfer whether you are processing simple fluids, viscous solutions, or particulates. They can be used in a wide range of applications and industries and are available in an extensive range of sizes, alloys, and frame configurations to meet your exact needs.

Cross Flow Plate Heat Exchangers accommodate viscous fluids or those containing fibrous materials or larger particles. Wide-channeled horizontal ribbed pattern with no metal-to-metal contact allows Cross Flow of particles that can block other heat exchangers. In many ways, Cross Flow Heat Exchangers are similar in function to conventional plate heat exchangers. However, their distinctive engineering and construction makes them ideal for specialized applications. They are used in pulp and paper production; processing of beet sugar; beer mash processing at breweries; and sludge processing, which includes a gamut of applications such as quenching oil, plating solutions, and work with crystals. Food processors use free-flow heat exchangers for heating and cooling in grain processing. The units are also used in producing ethanol and in textile mills.
