Plate heat exchangers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and depending on the needs of the application, they can employ a variety of innovative heat transfer techniques. Among their many advantages, three of the most important are their ability to save the most space, their low environmental impact, and their reduced need for energy and routine maintenance.
What are the Advantages of plate heat exchanger and its application?
· Reduced Spatial Footprint
As modern technology advances, it appears that more powerful also means smaller; smaller personal devices, smaller and more versatile manufacturing equipment, and so on. The shrinking space in electrical cabinets increases the risk of heat pockets, and subsequent damage to electrical components, necessitating the use of smaller and more efficient cooling solutions, such as heat exchangers.
· Reduced Environmental Impact
Heat exchangers must run continuously to prevent high-powered control panels, from overheating. One of the most significant advantages of modern heat exchangers is that they do not require any additional equipment to function, such as an air conditioning or air compressing unit.
As a result, they use significantly less energy and emit little to no pollution, when compared to more traditional cooling methods.
· Low Operating Costs
Heat exchangers do not require as much maintenance as air conditioners, because they do not require complicated external equipment and are designed to eliminate most contamination. They also do not break down and can outlast most air conditioning units, before needing repair or replacement.
Other benefits of a plate heat exchanger include:
1. Improved temperature approach, true counter-current flow, and 80-90% less hold-up volume.
2. Low cost - low capital investment, installation costs and operating expenses.
3. Maximum dependability - less fouling, stress, wear, and corrosion.
4. Accountable - minimal energy consumption for maximum process effect, reduced cleaning.
5. Simple capacity expansion - adjustable plates on existing frames.
Application of heat exchangers
To function properly, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing systems require the addition and removal of heat, and processes must be carefully controlled to maintain proper temperatures. Heat exchangers regulate fluid temperatures in processing systems, to meet pasteurization, filling operations, and food safety requirements.
Heat exchangers in the food and beverage industry reduce or eliminate microbial, to make products safe for consumption and to prevent spoilage.Heat exchangers also heat or cool products during various stages of processing, such as filling, drying, and concentration.
Heat exchangers are valuable in the pharmaceutical, food, and beverage industries in several ways:
1. Heat exchangers heat the cleaning fluids that are used to remove residues from system components.
2. Heat exchangers maintain consistent temperatures during pasteurization, and cleaning-in-place (CIP).
3. They heat water to effectively rinse food processing equipment (tanks and piping).
4. They can be mounted on skids for compact and versatile CIP equipment positioning.
5. Heat exchangers can be cleaned because their designs create turbulence, when systems maintain a sufficient flow rate.
6. They move heat without contaminating the heated fluids.
7. Regenerative heat transfer saves energy by reusing heated fluids to heat fluids, in a cycle that can be repeated.
