Liitoslevylämmönvaihtimet

Liitoslevylämmönvaihdin, also known as a plate heat exchanger, is a device designed to efficiently transfer heat between two or more fluids. These fluids are typically separated by thin metal plates, allowing for a large surface area for heat exchange within a compact volume. The plates are usually corrugated to enhance turbulence and improve heat transfer efficiency. The fluids flow in alternating channels between these plates. One fluid flows on one side of a plate, while the other fluid flows on the opposite side, facilitating the transfer of thermal energy from the hotter fluid to the colder one.

The construction of a liitoslevylämmönvaihdin typically involves a frame with a fixed head and a movable head, holding the plates together. Gaskets are used to seal the channels and prevent leakage between the fluids and to the outside. These exchangers are widely used in various industrial applications, including HVAC systems, chemical processing, food and beverage production, and power generation. Their advantages include high thermal efficiency, compact size, ease of cleaning and maintenance, and flexibility in terms of capacity. They can be designed to handle a wide range of temperatures and pressures.
