SCHMIDT® SIGMAWIG ALL WELDED PLATE HEAT EXCHANGERS

SIGMAWIG – opens up new fields of application SIGMA plate heat exchangers are recognized world-wide for quality and reliability in thermal processes such as cooling, heating, pasteurising, evaporation and condensation. To meet the increasing requirements for plate heat exchangers in special applications, a new type of plate heat exchangers without gaskets called SIGMAWIG was developed particularly for:  Chemical industry  Pharmaceutical industry  Industrial cooling  Heat balancing systems The SIGMAWIG construction makes it possible to noticeably extend the application of plate heat...

SCHMIDT® SIGMAWIG ALL WELDED PLATE HEAT EXCHANGERS - 5

SIGMAWIG – the all welded plate heat exchanger Technical details SIGMAWIG all welded plate heat exchangers are similar to gasketed plate heat exchangers because of the number of corrugated plates and do not include gaskets. The plates are sealed hermetically by TIG welded seams. The loading capacity of these connection exceeds the strength of gaskets. Cross section of plate pack The fishbone geometry of the flow channels built by the plates effects high turbulences on the fluids, which result in optimum heat transfer. The countercurrent flow arrangement allows most efficient heat transfer....
