Plates (for plate-type): Port Diameter 25-150 mm

Component Specifications

Definition

Plates for plate-type vent condensers are precision-formed metal components featuring engineered corrugation patterns that create turbulent flow channels for optimal heat transfer between process vapors and cooling media. These plates are stacked in alternating sequence with gaskets to form sealed flow passages, enabling counter-current heat exchange with minimal pressure drop and maximum surface area utilization.

Working Principle

Heat transfer occurs through conduction across thin metal plates separating hot and cold fluid streams. Corrugations induce turbulent flow, enhancing heat transfer coefficients while maintaining structural integrity. Plates are arranged in parallel with alternating hot/cold channels, creating multiple heat exchange surfaces within compact assemblies.

Materials

Stainless steel (AISI 304/316), titanium, nickel alloys, or specialized coatings for corrosion resistance; food-grade materials for sanitary applications
