advantage:

High heat transfer coefficient and high heat transfer efficiency.

Compact structure, large heat exchange area, and small footprint.

High flexibility, the heat exchanger area and number of heat exchange sections can be adjusted according to needs.

Less consumables, easy maintenance and cleaning.

Disadvantages:

The sealing perimeter is long and there is a high chance of leakage.

Due to the limitations of the sealing material, the operating pressure and temperature cannot be too high.

Due to the small spacing between the plates, the flow rate should not be too high and the viscosity of the medium should be low during operation, while there should be no solid particles, otherwise it is easy to block the channels between the plates.

Plate heat exchanger is an efficient heat exchange equipment, mainly composed of a series of metal sheets with specific corrugated shapes stacked together. These metal sheets form thin rectangular channels between them, and heat exchange is carried out through the plates, making it an ideal device for liquid-liquid and liquid vapor heat exchange. Plate heat exchangers have the characteristics of high heat transfer efficiency and low heat loss. Under the same pressure loss, its heat transfer coefficient is 3-5 times higher than that of a tube heat exchanger, and the heat recovery rate can reach over 90%.
