Nameplate
On the nameplate you can find the type of unit, manufac
-
turing number, and manufacturing year. You can also find
pressure vessel details in accordance with the applicable
pressure vessel code. The nameplate is most commonly
fixed to the frame plate, or the pressure plate.
WARNING
For each unit, the mechanical design pressures and
temperatures are marked on the nameplate. These
must not be exceeded.
The mechanical design pressure and the design tem-
perature as given on the name plate are the values to
which the PHE is approved to the pressure vessel code in
question. The mechanical design temperature may exceed
the maximum operating temperature established for the
gasket material lifetime. If the operating temperatures as
specified on the assembly drawing are to be exceeded,
consult the supplier.

Function
The LZWII consists of a set of corrugated metal plates
with port holes for inflow and outflow of two separate
fluids. The plates are arranged as cassettes (twin plates) in
such a way that every second channel is welded, and ev-
ery other channel is gasketed. The heat transfer between
the two fluids takes place through the plates. The cas
-
sette concept gives rise to two different types of chan-
nel - welded channels used for the aggressive primary
media and gasketed channels used for the non-aggressive
secondary media.
The plate pack is assembled between a frame plate and
a pressure plate and compressed by tightening bolts. The
plates are fitted with a gasket that seals the channel and
directs the fluids into alternate channels. The plate cor
-
rugation promotes fluid turbulence and supports the plates
against differential pressure.
