Plateflow Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers
Plate & Frame:
The Plateflow® design is relatively
inexpensive, compact and efficient,
providing more heat transfer in less
space requiring one-third to one-fifth
less surface area than conventional
Shell & Tube units. Their smaller size
and weight help you maximize limited
space. A wide variety of plate
construction materials are available,
including 304 or 316 stainless steel,
Titanium, Hastelloy® , Incolloy® , and
other metals. Various connection types
are available to match the application
requirements. Gasketed, semi-welded,
double wall, and free flow plates are
designed to meet a wide variety of
applications.

Selection Tips:
- For applications involving
temperature crossing or close
temperature approach.
- Ideal for refrigerant to liquid
or refrigerant to gas applications.
- Very economical when compared to
all stainless tubular construction.
Plateflow®:
- Gasketed for low maintenance -
Standard type unit with one-piece
molded gaskets
- Semi-Welded for heavy duty - For
aggressive applications where
reducing the fluid’s contact with
elastomers is desired
- Double Wall for protection - For
that extra protection against gasket
failure
- Free Flow/ Wide Gap Plate for
worry free flow - For handling
particulate up to 2mm in diameter
and 5mm long
Advantages:
- Ease of disassembly for cleaning
or replacement of plates.
- Efficient for applications in
which a temperature cross is
present.
Limitations:
- Standards allow design pressures
up to 300 psig, but higher pressure
can be addressed upon request.
- Temperature limitations of the
gasket material chosen.
- Plate and gasket material must
be selected for compatibility with
the fluids.
Applications: Close
temperature control of fluids and heat
recovery applications.
Examples:
Steel & metal working industries
Hydraulic oil coolers Paint heaters
Quench oil coolers Jacket, mold &
refactory water cooling Pulp & paper
industries White water or fibrous water
cooling.
