What is Stainless Plate Heat Exchanger?

The stainless plate heat exchanger is essential equipment for sanitary industrial production. It consists of a set of stainless steel plates with holes for the passage of two fluids, through which the two fluids transfer heat. The two common grades of stainless steel are 316 and 304 for PHE plates & frames. The primary difference between them is the molybdenum content (around 2-3%), which provides SS316 with superior corrosion resistance.

Stainless steel plate material features

Corrosion resistance: Suitable for a variety of fluid media, including some corrosive media.

High strength: withstands high temperatures and pressures.

Hygienic: Stainless steel is safe and harmless for applications in food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals.

High heat transfer efficiency: The unique corrugated design of the ss plate creates turbulent flow, enhancing heat transfer.

Working Principle

Stainless plate heat exchangers are based on the fundamental physical laws of heat transfer: heat always transfers from the high-temperature fluid to the low-temperature fluid until equilibrium is reached.

In a stainless plate heat exchanger, two fluids of varying temperatures enter the heat exchanger at the inlet and are directed into alternating channels formed by adjacent plates. Each plate carries the hot fluid on one side and the cold fluid on the other, creating an alternating "hot, cold" pattern that prevents the fluids from mixing. The hot fluid outlet and the cold fluid inlet are located on the same side, maximizing heat transfer efficiency. The unique corrugated design of the stainless steel plates is key to the plate heat exchanger's high efficiency. The corrugated structure creates intense turbulence within the channels, significantly reducing the boundary layer near the plate surface, allowing for thorough mixing within the fluids and achieving a more uniform temperature throughout the channels, significantly improving the heat transfer coefficient and efficiency.

✅ Stainless steel has a high heat transfer coefficient and high heat transfer efficiency.

✅ Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and is suitable for acid, alkali and other chemical fluid treatment

✅ At the same heat exchange efficiency, the footprint of the plate heat exchanger is much smaller than that of the shell and tube heat exchanger

✅ The plate heat exchanger can be disassembled and assembled to reduce the cleaning and maintenance costs

Frequently Asked Questions

First, avoid overheating and overpressure, and operate strictly within design parameters. Second, control scaling and clogging, and pre-treat the fluid entering the heat exchanger to prevent blockage, which can reduce efficiency and increase pressure drop.
Gasket type can be fully disassembled for maintenance and cleaning. Brazed type are brazed together with copper or nickel and cannot be disassembled. Fully-welded type are laser welded together and cannot be disassembled. Semi-welded type are welded together into a pair, with gaskets still used to seal the pair. It's often used in situations where one side handles high-pressure or corrosive media while the other side remains easily cleanable.
316L is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel. Compared to more common 304 stainless steel, it contains molybdenum (Mo), which provides superior chloride corrosion resistance.
Model selection requires comprehensive consideration of parameters such as fluid medium, flow rate, temperature, allowable pressure drop, and operating pressure. Contact our professional engineers, who will use specialized selection software to recommend the most suitable model and plate quantity.
The plate material, interface method and channel structure can be customized according to the customer's working conditions (temperature, pressure, medium type).
