Plate Heat Exchanger
- This heat exchanger is a set of metal plates separated by spacers (gaskets).
- The metal plates have flow disturbers on their sides to help improve the heat transfer.
- Plate heat exchangers are compact and therefore good for applications with limited space.
- It is also easy to alter their design to change their capacity simply add or remove plates and spacers.
- The plates and gaskets have holes that make the hot and cold flow run on alternate sides of the plates, therefore transferring heat.
