What is a plate heat exchanger?
Heat exchange processes are at the heart of industrial production. In terms of both energy efficiency and process safety, choosing the right heat exchanger is vital. At this point plate heat exchangers it stands out thanks to its compact structure, high heat transfer surface and ease of service.
As Kenfle, we are an engineering brand specializing in industrial heat transfer systems. high-performance With our plate heat exchanger solutionsWhile optimizing the energy consumption of your business, we ensure continuity and confidence in production processes.
What is a plate heat exchanger?
Plate heat exchanger it is a heat exchanger system that has a structure formed by stacking thin metal plates on top of each other. While hot and cold fluids flow mutually between these plates; When passing through contact surfaces, heat transfer occurs.
Kenfle plate heat exchangers thanks to special design plates high heat transfer coefficient, low energy loss and compact design offers its advantages together.
Working Principle of Plate Heat Exchangers
Plate heat exchangers generally operate on the principle of counterflow. In this way, maximum heat transfer is provided.
- The hot fluid moves through the entrance through the plate channels.
- At the same time, the cold fluid flows through a different channel in the opposite direction
- Through plate surfaces, heat passes from one fluid to another
Thanks to Kenfle’s engineering-supported designs, maximum heat exchange is achieved with minimum pressure loss.
