Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers
Plate and Frame heat exchangers have become a viable alternative to shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The plate-type heat exchanger, has an ability to optimize thermal performance and has made close approach and temperature cross applications economically feasible where shell-and-tube designs have not. Applications for this easily maintained product are many but in general plate and frame type exchangers are suited for low temperature, clear fluids, and relatively high pressure drop situations.
