Plate Type Heat Exchanger

JC Equipments Pvt Ltd offers a Plate Type Heat Exchanger. This type of heat exchanger uses metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids, and has a major advantage over conventional heat exchangers in that the fluids are exposed to a much larger surface area because the fluids spread out over the plates. This facilitates the transfer of heat, and greatly increases the speed of the temperature change. It is not as common to see plate heat exchangers because they need well-sealed gaskets to prevent the fluids from escaping, although modern manufacturing processes have made them feasible. The concept behind a heat exchanger is the use of pipes or other containment vessels to heat or cool one fluid by transferring heat between it and another fluid. In most cases, the exchanger consists of a coiled pipe containing one fluid that passes through a chamber containing another fluid. The walls of the pipe are usually made of metal, or another substance with a high thermal conductivity, to facilitate the interchange, whereas the outer casing of the larger chamber is made of a plastic or coated with thermal insulation, to discourage heat from escaping from the exchanger. The plate heat exchanger (PHE) was invented by Dr Richard Seligman in 1923 and revolutionized methods of indirect heating and cooling of fluids. It is composed of multiple, thin, slightly-separated plates that have very large surface areas and fluid flow passages for heat transfer. The company also offers Tube Bundle Heat Exchangers, Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger, Hydraulic Oil Coolers, FRP Seamless Cooling Tower, FRP Cooling Tower, Bottle Shape, etc.
