We offer a full range of replacements for VICARB plate heat exchangers, with dimensions and interfaces fully compatible with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and equivalent performance. They are resistant to high temperatures and pressures and are available in corrosion-resistant materials such as Hastelloy, titanium, and SMO 254. We offer fast delivery, ample stock, and free selection support to help you quickly and cost-effectively replace your equipment.
The Vicarb Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger employs a removable gasket sealing structure, consisting of a series of corrugated metal plates stacked together and sealed with rubber gaskets. This creates channels for the alternating flow of hot and cold fluids, achieving highly efficient heat exchange. The plates feature a special corrugated design, enabling high heat transfer coefficients at low flow rates, offering advantages such as high heat transfer efficiency and a small footprint. The gaskets utilize a double-sealing structure and include signal holes, allowing for pre-emptive release in case of leakage, preventing the mixing of two media.
