TS6 TS6-MFG Plate heat exchanger Applications General heating and cooling duties. Heating by means of steam. Standard design The plate heat exchanger consists of a pack of corrugated metal plates with portholes for the passage of the two fl uids between which heat transfer will take place. The plate pack is assembled between a fi x frame plate and a movable pressure plate and compressed by tightening bolts. The plates are fi tted with a gasket which seals the interplate channel and directs the fl uids into alternate channels. The number of plates is determined by the fl ow rate, physical properties of the fl uids, pressure drop and temperature program. The plate corrugations promote fl uid turbulence and support the plates against differential pressure. The plate and the pressure plate are suspended from an upper carrying bar and located by a lower guiding bar, both of which are fi xed to a support column. Connections are located in the frame plate or, an additional auxiliary connection for steam may be mounted on the pressure plate to handle high capacities. Typical capacities Liquid fl ow rate Up to 20 kg/s (300 gpm), depending on media, permitted pressue drop and temperture program. Water heating by steam 200-1800 kW Plate types TS6M Frame types FG and FD
