Levylämpönvaihdin

Levylämpönvaihdin is a type of heat exchanger that utilizes a series of thin metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. These plates are typically corrugated or embossed to increase their surface area and create turbulence in the fluid flow, which enhances heat transfer efficiency. The plates are stacked together, forming channels through which the hot and cold fluids circulate, separated by the plates themselves. Gaskets are usually placed between the plates to prevent mixing of the fluids and to direct the flow.

The design of a levylämpönvaihdin allows for a compact and efficient solution for heating or cooling applications. They are widely used in various industries, including HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), refrigeration, chemical processing, power generation, and marine applications. The ability to easily adjust the heat transfer capacity by adding or removing plates makes them a versatile option. Maintenance is also relatively straightforward, as the plates can often be disassembled for cleaning. The primary function is to transfer thermal energy from a hotter fluid to a colder fluid without direct contact.
