Levylämmönluovuttimissa

Levylämmönluovutin is a Finnish term referring to a plate heat exchanger. A plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that uses metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. These fluids can be liquids or gases, and they are separated by thin metal plates. The heat exchange occurs as one fluid flows on one side of a plate and the other fluid flows on the opposite side. The large surface area provided by the corrugated plates allows for efficient heat transfer. The plates are typically made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials. They are often pressed or stamped into a corrugated pattern to increase turbulence and the surface area for heat transfer. These devices are widely used in various industrial applications, including HVAC systems, chemical processing, food and beverage production, and power generation, due to their compact size, high efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Maintenance typically involves periodic cleaning of the plates to remove any build-up that could impede heat transfer.
