Plateflow® Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers

Plateflow® Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on Plateflow® Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers, highlighting their efficiency, compact design, and flexibility. It emphasizes the advantages of Plateflow technology over conventional shell and tube heat exchangers.
Specifications: Plateflow heat exchangers offer higher surface area to volume ratios and superior heat transfer coefficients. They are designed for true countercurrent flow, maximizing temperature differences between fluids. The exchangers are compact, requiring less space for the same application compared to traditional models.
Design and Features: The Plateflow design includes chevron-style heat transfer plates, double gasketing to prevent cross-contamination, and options for glueless gaskets. The semi-welded design is suitable for aggressive fluids, reducing contact with elastomers. Double-wall units provide extra protection against plate failure, and free-flow models are designed for clog-resistance in high-fiber applications.
Materials and Construction: A variety of materials are available for plate construction, including stainless steel, titanium, and other alloys. The exchangers support multiple connection types and are adaptable to various applications.
Technical Data: The exchangers can handle a maximum flow rate of 30,000 GPM and a heat transfer area up to 50,000 sq. ft. They are designed for pressures up to 450 psi and temperatures ranging from -31°F to 338°F.
Industry Standards: The exchangers comply with several industry codes, including ASME, Canadian CRN, and others, ensuring they meet rigorous safety and performance standards.
Applications: Plateflow exchangers are suitable for heat recovery, applications with viscous fluids, and large temperature cross situations. They are used in various sectors, including public utilities, industrial, residential, and commercial building services.
Company Information: Xylem Inc. is a global leader in water technology, providing solutions for water challenges through advanced technology and sustainable practices.

Heat Exchangers Advanced Plate Technology Compact Design BIG ON HEAT TRANSFER. SMALL ON SPACE. Plateflow heat exchangers provide more heat transfer in less space. The Plateflow design is compact and efficient. • lateflow models have higher surface area to volume ratios P than conventional shell and tube heat exchangers. • lateflow offers superior heat transfer coefficients compared to shell P and tube heat exchangers. This is obtained through the unique plate designs that generate high turbulence. • lateflow offers “true” countercurrent flow. This maximizes the mean P temperature difference between...

Heat Exchangers Advanced Plate Technology GASKETS LOW MAINTENANCE. Plateflow models include a one-piece molded gasket. This standard gasket is designed with two rings to confine each fluid to the appropriate port region of the plate, a field region of the gasket to confine the fluid to the heat transfer area of the plate and a vented region in between. This design creates a double gasket with a leak path to atmosphere through the vented region to prevent any cross contamination of the fluids due to a gasket failure. A leak due to a gasket failure is detected as a leak to atmosphere prior to any...

Heat Exchangers Advanced Plate Technology DOUBLE-WALL BUILT FOR PROTECTION. The nature of the basic Plateflow design includes a double gasketing feature for extra protection against gasket failure. With double-wall units, that additional protection is extended to guard against plate failure as well. Two plates are positioned together with a unique sealing mechanism at the port holes to form one assembly with an air space between the plates. This unique feature protects against contamination of one fluid by another. If one of the plates should corrode and develop a leak, the fluid would enter...
