What is a Plate Heat Exchanger?

A plate heat exchanger is a device in which heat is transferred between two different media. The heat exchanger consists of a plate pack in which the media flow on different sides of the plates.

Welded plate heat exchangers are physically smaller in dimensions compared to tube heat exchangers with the same heat transfer capacity. The installation space required for a plate heat exchanger is only 20–25 % of that required for a tube heat exchanger. The efficiency is high. The welded structure is mechanically robust and is also well-suited for cryogenic conditions.

Choosing a Plate Heat Exchanger

We offer Vahterus’s PSHE (plate and shell) as well as PRHE (plate and ring) plate heat exchangers.

We assist in selecting the sampling solution that meets the requirements of your application. Contact our representatives for more information.
