PLATE DESCRIPTION SUPERCHANGER plate corrugations are available in four patterns. Depending on the applications, the GF, UX, SX, GC and GX Series plates are used to achieve maximum heat UX, SX and GC Series plates: Herringbone (chevron) pattern is ideally suited for handling aqueous solutions. GF Series: Wide gap and parallel (washboard) patterns are designed for applications where there are high viscosity fluids or fluids...

HEAT EXCHANGERS ¿\ HEAT EXCHANGERS Plate Designations SUPERCHANGER units are designed so that a fluid which enters the "A" plate circuit (nozzles SI, S2, Ml or M2) always flows in the "A" circuit only. Fluid which enters the "B" plate circuit (nozzles S3, S4, M3 or M4) always flows in the "B" circuit only. Facing the stationary frame, the right side is always the "A" side, while the left side is always the "B" side. The "A" and "B" term refers to the gasket orientation. When looking at the gasketed side of the plate, an "A" plate becomes a "B" plate when reversed (turned upside down). If...

HEAT EXCHANGERS </\ HEAT EXCHANGERS SUPERCHANGER units are custom designed for each application. A drawing is supplied with each unit depicting all required dimensional data, equipment specifications, unit performance, nozzle locations and sequence of plates in the heat exchanger. Most information contained on the drawing is self-explanatory. However, sections illustrating the internal functions of a plate and frame heat exchanger are sometimes difficult to interpret. The following diagrams are aids for understanding the equipment. Element Composition Diagram Figure 13 shows an "S" frame...
