DESIGN OF PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER FOR HEAT TREATMENT INDUSTRY

Abstract

This study discusses the design of plate type heat exchangers (PHE). Conventional heat exchangers have many drawbacks, including difficult maintenance, high cost, and increased area usage. In contrast, plate heat exchangers have a number of benefits over traditional heat exchangers. Because the liquid spreads across the plate, PHE has a bigger surface area. The study discusses and explains the design of the plate type heat exchanger, plate material, chevron angle, and gasket material since the plate allows for faster heat transmission. Key Words: Plate heat exchanger, Design, materials.
