GEA V45 heat exchanger stainless steel plate
The plates produce an extremely large surface area, which allows for the fastest possible transfer.
Making each chamber thin ensures that the majority of the volume of the liquid contacts the plate,
again aiding exchange. The troughs also create and maintain a turbulent flow in the liquid to maximize
heat transfer in the exchanger. A high degree of turbulence can be obtained at low flow rates and
high heat transfer coefficient can then be achieved.
plate heat exchanger consists of a series of thin, corrugated plates which are mentioned above.
These plates are gasketed, welded or brazed together depending on the application of the heat
exchanger. The plates are compressed together in a rigid frame to form an arrangement of parallel
flow channels with alternating hot and cold fluids.
