Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE)
A gasketed plate heat exchanger stacks corrugated metal plates in a bolted frame to form alternating hot and cold flow channels. The frame can be opened for plate cleaning, gasket replacement, inspection, and capacity adjustment by adding or removing plates. It is commonly used in HVAC, water heat recovery, food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, marine, and general industrial utilities.
Product Details
Maintenance access
The bolted frame can be opened so plates and gaskets can be inspected, cleaned, replaced, or reconfigured as the duty changes.
Selection boundary
For very high pressure, high temperature, aggressive, or dirty fluids, welded, semi-welded, spiral, or tubular alternatives may be more suitable.
