Looking for a plate and shell heat exchanger for the chemical industry? Then JINFAN is just right.
We are a first-class plate and shell heat exchanger manufacturer & supplier. A plate shell heat exchanger offers advantages such as enhanced safety, high thermal efficiency, compact size, versatility, easy maintenance, and long service life. Its welded plate construction eliminates the need for gaskets and seals, making it a reliable and efficient choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
The plate and shell heat exchanger combines the advantages of high heat transfer efficiency of plate heat exchangers and high pressure and temperature resistance of shell and tube heat exchangers. The core of its structure is to utilize fully welded corrugated plate bundles in place of traditional tube bundles, resulting in a 30%+ increase in heat transfer efficiency. It is suitable for heat exchange conditions of various high-temperature, high-pressure, and highly corrosive media, and is widely used in chemical, power, pharmaceutical, metallurgical and other industries.
• Plate Pack (Core Unit)
Laser welding pairs of stainless steel plates form a flow channel unit. Multiple units are assembled into a cylindrical plate bundle, and the internal fluid flows in the plate channel.
• Shell Side Channel
The outer shell encloses the plate bundle, and the second fluid flows on the shell side to facilitate heat exchange with the fluid in the plates. The two media typically operate in countercurrent or cross-flow mode to achieve higher heat exchange efficiency.
• Fully Welded Structure
The plate bundle and the shell are fully welded and packaged, without gaskets, with good sealing and no leakage risks, especially suitable for high-risk or high-value fluids.
• Flexible Flow Channel Design
Single-pass, double-pass, and multi-pass structures can be set according to working conditions to meet the requirements of different flow rates, pressures, and heat transfer loads.
• High heat transfer efficiency
Strong turbulence is formed between the plates, and the heat transfer efficiency is much higher than that of traditional shell and tube heat exchangers (increased by about 3~5 times).
• Compact structure, Space-saving
Provides a larger heat transfer area per unit volume, the equipment is smaller and occupies less space.
• High pressure and high temperature resistance
Suitable for a maximum pressure of 6MPa and a high temperature of 400°C (customizable according to the material).
• Strong corrosion resistance
Stainless steel, titanium, Hastelloy, duplex steel and other materials can be selected, suitable for acid, alkali, high salt and special media.
• Maintenance-free, Long life
Gasket-free structure, reducing aging, replacement and maintenance costs, and supporting CIP online cleaning system.
