Plate Condenser

A plate condenser uses corrugated plate channels to condense vapor into liquid by transferring heat to cooling water, chilled water, glycol, air-assisted loops, or another coolant. The compact plate surface supports fast thermal response and high heat-transfer efficiency in evaporation systems, refrigeration systems, solvent recovery, chemical processes, power auxiliaries, marine service, and food or pharmaceutical utilities.

Product Details

Condensation duty

The exchanger should be sized around vapor composition, condensation curve, non-condensable gas, cooling medium temperature, pressure drop, and condensate drainage.

Configuration choice

Clean water vapor may use a gasketed arrangement, while refrigerants, solvents, corrosive vapor, or higher pressure may require semi-welded, welded, or plate-shell designs.

Key Advantages

Large corrugated plate area supports high condensation heat-transfer coefficients.
Compact construction reduces installation footprint and refrigerant or vapor hold-up.
Fast thermal response helps systems follow changing vapor loads.
Openable, gasketed, semi-welded, or welded configurations can be selected by media and maintenance needs.
Material selection can address seawater, acidic vapor, refrigerants, solvents, and hygienic services.
Can be paired with plate evaporators, MVR systems, refrigeration units, and process heat-recovery loops.
