Construction and Operation

 

 

Construction 

The plate heat exchanger consists of a set of profiled flow plates fitted with rubber gaskets. The plates 
are  fitted  in  the  structure  and  clamped  together  by  a  set  of  tie  rods.  The  capacity  of  the  heat 
exchanger depends on the number of plates (

Figure 1

). 

 

Plate stack 

The plates have glued-on gaskets. The gaskets provide sealing between the media and the atmosphere 
when the plates are clamped together. 
Double  gaskets  with  intermediate  drain  areas  are  fitted  at  two  corners  of  the  plates.  The  plates  are 
assembled with half of the plates rotated 180° so that the drain areas are located alternately on the 
left and right sides. In this way the plate stack forms a system with parallel intermediate spaces and 
media flow in opposite directions in alternating intermediate spaces (

Figure 2

).

 

 

Intermediate frames 

If the plate heat exchanger operates with different media at the same time, it may be necessary to fit 
intermediate  frames.  The  intermediate  frames  divide  the  plate  heat  exchanger  into  several  sections. 
The  intermediate  frames  have  corner  elements  that  provide  the  connection  between  the  different 
sections and/or the pipe ports. Two ports can be present in the same corner element, each connected 
to its own section of the heat exchanger. See the schematic flow diagram.
