2. Operating Principle
2.1 Standard design
The plate heat exchanger consists of a
number of thin corrugated metal plates.
The plate corrugations form flow channels for
the heat exchanging fluids and provide
strength to the compressed plate pack.
The plates contain ports for fluid inlets,
outlets and interconnect passages as
required.
Gaskets are attached to the plates, forming a
seal between the heat exchanging fluids and
the surroundings.
In the example shown here, the cold fluid
(blue) enters at the bottom and the hot fluid
(red) at the top.
2.2 Frame
The plates are clamped together to a
predetermined dimension by the tie bars
between two thick metal slabs: a stationary
slab (head) and a moveable slab (follower).
Connections for the fluid inlets and outlets
can be made on either slab. The plates are
hung on the top bar and guided by the
bottom bar. An end column supports the top
and bottom bar ends.
