Description: Core heat-transfer component for plate heat exchangers. Multiple plates stacked in assembly, gaskets fitted into plate grooves. Hot and cold fluids flow alternately on opposite plate sides for heat exchange.
Stamped corrugated profile enlarges heat-transfer area and induces fluid turbulence for intensified heat transfer between cold and hot streams. Cooperates with gaskets to isolate flow channels and guides fluid along designed flow paths; withstands differential pressure across plate sides. Corrugated geometry improves plate rigidity and overall equipment pressure-withstand capability.
304 / 316L stainless steel for general service; titanium plate or Hastelloy alloy for highly corrosive media. Thin stamped sheet construction, pressed with herringbone or oblique corrugations; corner port openings for media pass-through; sealing grooves machined around plate perimeter.
