Kennolevylämmönvaihdin

Kennolevylämmönvaihdin, also known as a plate heat exchanger, is a device designed for efficient heat transfer between two fluids. It consists of a series of thin, corrugated metal plates stacked together. These plates are arranged in a way that creates alternating channels for the hot and cold fluids to flow through. The corrugations on the plates serve to increase the surface area for heat transfer and also induce turbulence in the fluids, further enhancing the efficiency of the heat exchange process.

The two fluids are kept separate by the plates, preventing direct mixing. Heat is transferred from the hotter fluid to the colder fluid through the thin metal walls of the plates. The design of the plate corrugations and the flow path of the fluids can be optimized to achieve specific heat transfer requirements. Kennolevylämmönvaihdin are known for their compact size, high thermal efficiency, and ease of maintenance. They are commonly used in a wide range of industrial applications, including HVAC systems, food processing, chemical industries, and power generation, wherever heat needs to be transferred between liquids or gases.
