Main components

1

Frame plate

Fixed plate with a various number of portholes for the connection of the piping system.
The carrying and guiding bar are attached to the frame plate.

2

Carrying bar

Carries the plate pack and the pressure plate.

3

Plate pack

Heat is transferred from one media to the other through the plates. The plate pack
consists of channel plates, end plates, gaskets and in some cases transition plates. The
measurement of the plate pack is the

A

dimension, i.e the measurement between frame

plate and pressure plate. Refer to the PHE drawing.

4

Pressure plate

Moveable plate that can contain a various number of portholes for the connection of
the piping system.

5

Guiding bar

Keeps the channel plates, connection plates and the pressure plate alligned at their
lower end.

6

Support column

Supports carrying and guiding bars.

7

Tightening bolts

Compress the plate pack between the frame plate and the pressure plate.
The bolts with bearing boxes are identified as tightening bolts.
Remaining bolts are used as locking bolts.

8

Portholes

Portholes through the frame plate allow the media to enter into or exit from the heat
exchanger.
