Tasokeräimet

Tasokeräimet are a type of heat exchanger used to transfer thermal energy between two fluids. They are characterized by their plate-and-frame construction, where thin, corrugated metal plates are stacked together and sealed by gaskets. These plates create a series of channels through which the hot and cold fluids flow, alternating between plates. The corrugated pattern of the plates enhances turbulence, which in turn improves the efficiency of heat transfer.

The primary advantage of tasokeräimet is their high efficiency in a compact size. The large surface area provided by the numerous plates allows for effective heat exchange even with relatively small units. They are also highly versatile and can be designed to handle a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Their modular design allows for easy disassembly, cleaning, and capacity adjustment by adding or removing plates.

Tasokeräimet find applications in various industries, including HVAC systems for heating and cooling, food and beverage processing for pasteurization and cooling, chemical processing, and power generation. They are particularly useful in applications where space is limited or where rapid temperature changes are required. Maintenance is generally straightforward, with periodic cleaning of the plates and replacement of gaskets as needed to ensure continued optimal performance.
