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.
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.
The outer shell wraps the plate bundle, and the second fluid flows on the shell side to achieve heat exchange with the fluid in the plate. The two media usually operate in countercurrent or crossflow mode to obtain higher heat exchange efficiency.
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.
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.
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).
Provides a larger heat transfer area per unit volume, the equipment is smaller and occupies less space.
Suitable for a maximum pressure of 6MPa and a high temperature of 400°C (customizable according to the material).
Stainless steel, titanium, Hastelloy, duplex steel and other materials can be selected, suitable for acid, alkali, high salt and special media.
Gasket-free structure, reducing aging, replacement and maintenance costs, and supporting CIP online cleaning system.

Q: Can it handle high-viscosity media?
A: It supports customized wide channel plate type, which is suitable for oil/molten salt media with viscosity up to 10,000 cP.
Q: Can the plate and shell heat exchanger be used for steam condensation?
A: Yes, it is especially suitable for high-pressure steam condensation occasions, and the heat exchange efficiency is much higher than that of traditional shell and tube equipment.
Q: How to clean and maintain?
A: Most models support CIP online cleaning. For heavy fouling and blocking media, a detachable plate bundle structure can be optionally equipped for easy manual cleaning.
Q: Is it customizable?
A: The plate material, interface method and channel structure can be customized according to the customer's working conditions (temperature, pressure, medium type).
