ApplicationsCentral HVAC and ancillary cooling, lube oil coolers (turbines), seal water coolers (vacuum pumps), gearbox oil cooling (wind turbines), ground water isolation exchangers (geothermal)
DescriptionThe Armstrong PFX plate and frame heat exchangers consist of a number of specially corrugated metal plates assembled in a frame and bolted between two pressure plates (one fixed and one adjustable.) Armstrong plate designs are optimized for best water-to-water heat transfer providing enhanced performance especially in HVAC applications.
