What is Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchanger?

The gasketed plate type heat exchanger consists of a series of corrugated plates assembled between fixed cover and movable cover, retaining the design pressure. These phe plates can be made from different metals, including stainless steel, titanium, etc. Gaskets are used between the plates to prevent leakage. The counter-flow design allows for higher thermal performance and very close temperatures.

Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchanger, also known as Free Flow Plate Heat Exchanger, has ample spacing between plates enabling the seamless passage of fibers and particles through the heat exchanger, minimizing the risk of clogging. Because of the heat exchanger plate pattern and pressing depth design, these fluids flow easily through the heat exchanger. The corrugation of the plates provides the passage between the plates, supports each plate against the adjacent one and enhances the turbulence, resulting in efficient heat transfer. Depending on the duty, Wide Gap GPHE can be configured either with wide-wide or wide-narrow channels. These unique heat-transfer devices were first designed to provide maximum efficiency in transferring heat from one liquid to another or from steam to liquid.

JINFAN Wide Gap plate heat exchanger is the perfect solution for processing thick, fibrous, viscous, coarse, dirty, rough, crude, and clumpy fluids. Its wide plate gaps allow fibers and particles to pass through, minimizing clogging and maximizing process uptime easily. High flow turbulence between plates results in higher heat transfer efficiency; however, the consequence is a pressure drop. Our thermal design engineers can design the right heat transfer solution for your needs, providing maximum efficiency while minimizing pressure drop. From manufacturing to food processing, thousands of WideGap units are helping our customers worldwide achieve significant energy savings.

When your media is unsuitable for conventional heat exchangers due to viscosity, scaling or particle content, our free flow heat exchanger with wide channels provides sufficient flow space for these media to allow efficient heat exchange between the two media.

Advantages 

✅ With a compact design, the occupation area can be decreased

✅ With a wide gap flow, it can heat the cold stream to a temperature very close to that of the entering hot stream

✅ Longer service intervals due to minimized clogging

✅ Easily optimize performance by reconfiguring plates to suit new operating conditions

Customer Feedback

Engineer of **** Sugar Factory

"Changing JINFAN wide-gap PHE for our sugar refinery effectively solved the problem of frequent dirt in the impurity removal process during sugar production, significantly reducing downtime for maintenance."

**** Equipment Manager of Paper Mill

"After using the wide gap plate heat exchanger, the frequent blockage problem was solved. The equipment still maintained good heat exchange performance under high load operation.."

Frequently Asked Questions

The main difference between a wide-gap type and other plate heat exchanger is the larger gaps between the plates. These phe plates can typically be configured with either a "wide-wide" or "wide-narrow" flow path. This design is suitable for handling fluids containing fibers, particulates, suspended solids, or high viscosity, effectively avoiding the clogging problems that commonly occur in standard heat exchangers.
They are widely used in the papermaking, sugar refining, wastewater treatment, food and beverage, and chemical industries.
The equipment can be easily disassembled for mechanical cleaning, and the wider flow paths significantly reduce the need for frequent downtime.
Yes. Depending on the operating temperature, pressure, and media characteristics, we can customize the plate structure, material, and gasket type to meet individual customer needs.
