Plate Heat Exchangers

A plate heat exchanger transfers heat between two fluids using corrugated metal plates between a fixed frame and a movable pressure plate - efficient, compact, and more effective than traditional shell-and-tube units.

High efficiency Corrugated plates Gasket sealed Custom engineered

Construction

Corrugated plates stacked between frame plates; each plate has a gasket that creates separate paths and prevents fluid mixing.

How heat moves

Fluids flow in alternating channels - hot on one side of a plate, cold on the other - so heat passes through the metal without the fluids touching.

Turbulence

The wavy plate design creates mixing motion in narrow channels, which improves heat transfer performance.

Advantage

Higher efficiency than shell-and-tube exchangers in many duties - dairy, HVAC, chemical, and process cooling.

Conventional herringbone heat transfer plates
Conventional plates

Brochure · 02

Heat Transfer Plates

Conventional heat transfer plates use the industry-standard herringbone pattern with a symmetrical corrugated design - available as high-theta or low-theta plates.

Herringbone pattern High theta Low theta Symmetrical

High theta

Wide-angle plates for higher thermal performance where pressure drop allows.

Low theta

Narrow-angle plates for lower pressure drop and different flow characteristics.

Configurations

All high-theta · All low-theta · Or a mix of both - matched to flow rate and temperature duty.

Design goal

Symmetrical corrugation delivers predictable heat transfer and proven industrial performance.

V-Flex asymmetrical heat transfer plate pattern
V-Flex

Brochure · 03

V-Flex Plates

V-Flex plates keep the herringbone look but use an asymmetrical corrugation - different on each side - so engineers can choose from six channel arrangements and fine-tune performance.

Asymmetrical Six channel layouts High / low theta Cost efficient

Flexibility

Six different channel arrangements help adjust heat transfer without oversized units - often reducing area and cost.

Deep corrugations

For thick, viscous, shear-sensitive fluids or fluids with solids - gentler flow conditions.

Shallow corrugations

For thin, low-viscosity fluids such as water and oils - higher heat transfer efficiency.

Versions

Available in high-theta and low-theta V-Flex designs for process matching.

PHE Gaskets

Gasket choice depends on fluid type, contaminants, and whether the duty is hygienic (food, beverage, pharma) or industrial. Many exchangers are offered with both clip-on and glued options.

Clip-on Glued Hygienic Industrial

Clip-on gaskets

Preferred for hygienic lines - easy to remove, clean, and replace during maintenance.

Glued gaskets

Common on large industrial units where durability and secure attachment matter most.

Selection factors

Fluid chemistry · Clean vs contaminated process · Hygienic vs industrial duty.

Role

Keep fluids separated, prevent external leaks, and protect plate service life.

Heat Transfer Plate Materials

Standard plates are usually SS316L for stronger corrosion and chloride resistance than SS304. Titanium and specialty alloys are available for aggressive duties.

SS316L standard SS304 SMO 254 Titanium

SS304

Cost-effective option for less demanding applications.

SMO 254

Better resistance to chlorides and acids than SS316L.

Alloy C-276 · Nickel 200/201

C-276 for strong acids and chlorides (incl. concentrated sulfuric) · Nickel for reducing chemicals and caustic alkalis.

Titanium Gr.1 / Gr.11

Grade 1 for seawater and high-chloride water · Grade 11 (Ti-Pd) for chlorides at higher temperatures.

Types of Gasket Materials

Gasket material is selected for fluid, temperature, pressure, and operating conditions - whether glued or clip-on - to prevent mixing, avoid leaks, extend plate life, and cut maintenance cost.

NBR HNBR EPDM FKM / Viton® CR PTFE

NBR · HNBR

NBR for water, oils, hydrocarbons · HNBR for higher temperatures and vegetable oils.

EPDM

Hot water, steam, many chemicals · Not for oils/grease · Food-grade grades for hygienic industries.

FKM (Viton®) · CR

FKM for chemicals/solvents and demanding processes · CR (Neoprene) for ammonia refrigeration, condensers, evaporators.

PTFE encapsulated

Near-universal chemical resistance for aggressive sealing duties where rubber alone may fail.
