Plate heat exchanger BS series

water/waterstainless steel

Stainless Steel Alloy 316 Plates Steam Plate Heat Exchanger with Carbon Steel Nozzles 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. STANDARD MATERIALS Frame plate: Mild steel Epoxy painted Nozzles: Carbon steel Metal lined: Stainless steel, Titanium Plates: Stainless steel Alloy 316 or Titanium A great advance on conventional PHEs Optimized plate design The BS 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.
