Plate Heat Exchanger

Product Details:

A JAGTAP Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger (GPHE) is a type of heat exchanger used for transferring heat between two fluids that are separated by metal plates and sealed with gaskets. It is an efficient and compact solution for various heat transfer applications, such as HVAC systems, industrial processes, refrigeration, and heating applications.

The JAGTAP GPHE consists of multiple thin metal plates with corrugations or ridges, which create a pattern of channels for the two fluids to flow through. The plates are typically made of stainless steel or other materials that are good conductors of heat. These plates are stacked together and compressed with bolts or clamping devices, ensuring tight contact between them to prevent any leakage.

The two fluids, which can be liquids or gases, flow through alternate channels formed between the plates. One fluid flows on one side of the plates, while the other fluid flows on the opposite side. As the fluids pass through their respective channels, heat is exchanged between them through the metal plates.

The heat transfer occurs due to two main mechanisms: conduction and turbulence. As the hot fluid passes through its channels, it transfers heat to the adjacent plates through conduction. The metal plates then distribute the heat to the cooler fluid flowing on the other side through the process of conduction as well. The fluid flow in the channels is carefully designed to induce turbulence, which enhances the heat transfer efficiency by maximizing the contact between the fluid and the plate surfaces.

The gaskets placed around the edges of the plates provide a seal that keeps the two fluids separate, preventing any mixing. Gaskets also ensure that there is no leakage of fluids during the operation of the heat exchanger.

JAGTAP GPHEs offer several advantages, including high heat transfer efficiency, compact size, and ease of maintenance. They can be easily disassembled for cleaning or inspection, and their modular design allows for easy capacity expansion by adding or removing plate packs as needed.

Overall, JAGTAP Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers are a popular choice in various industries where efficient heat transfer and space-saving solutions are required.
