Working principle
Channels are formed between the plates and the corner ports are arranged so that the two media fl ow through alternate channels. The heat is transferred through the plate between the channels, and complete counter-current flow is reated for highest possible efficiency. The corrugation of the plates provides the passage between the plates, supports each plate against the adjacent one and enhances the turbulence, resulting in efficient heat transfer.

A great advance on conventional PHEs
Optimized plate design
The SH Series solves two main problems that occur when conventional plate heat exchangers (PHEs) are used as steam heaters. The first is that when water is heated over a relatively wide temperature difference, e. G. From 10 to 70° C (50 to 158° F), the high steam velocity causes erosion and noise problems. The second is that when high water flow rates are used when heating water only a few degrees, the PHE has to be oversized to keep the secondary side (water) pressure drop within reasonable limits. Both of these drawbacks are now eliminated in the new BS Series of PHEs by a unique plate geometry that allows problem-free heating over narrow and wide temperature ranges.
Way ahead of shell-and-tubes
No thermal fatigue Cyclic heating and cooling produces thermal fatigue in rigid steam heaters like straight shell-and-tubes. This often results in cracked and worn components that demand maintenance and repair, thereby causing unwanted system downtime. The combination of thin plates and flexible gaskets in the BS Series prevents thermal fatigue by allowing the units to expand and contract in response to temperature changes. Fine temperature control Rapid heat transfer resulting from the small hold-up volume and high surface/volume ratio of the plates enables a fast response to temperature control.
