This page explains how Plate Heat Exchanger is classified within Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
A compact heat transfer device that uses thin, corrugated metal plates to efficiently transfer thermal energy between two fluid streams.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Plate Heat Exchanger
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Heat Transfer Area | 1–500 m² | Select based on required thermal duty and available space. |
| Design Pressure | 1.0–2.5 MPa | Higher pressure requires thicker plates and stronger frame.GB/T 16409 |
| Design Temperature | -20–200 °C | Gasket material limits maximum temperature. |
| Plate Thickness | 0.5–1.2 mm | Thinner plates improve heat transfer but reduce pressure rating. |
| Plate Material | 304/316L | 316L for corrosive media; titanium for seawater.ASTM A240 |
| Gasket Material | NBR/EPDM | NBR for oils, EPDM for chemicals and high temperature. |
| Max Flow Rate | 10–1000 m³/h | Depends on port size and plate arrangement. |
| Heat Transfer Coefficient | 2000–7000 W/(m²·K) | Higher than shell-and-tube due to turbulent flow. |
| Connection Size | DN25–DN300 mm | Match to piping system.GB/T 9115 |
| Frame Material | Carbon steel | Coated for corrosion resistance. |
| Overall Dimensions (L×W×H) | 500×300×500–3000×1500×2500 mm | Varies with plate count and frame size. |
| Weight | 50–5000 kg | Depends on size and material. |

A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
Plates are commonly made of stainless steel (e.g., AISI 316) or titanium, with 304/316L grades available. Gaskets are typically NBR for oils or EPDM for chemicals and high-temperature applications. The choice depends on the fluid compatibility and operating temperature.
The design pressure ranges from 1.0 to 2.5 MPa, per GB/T 16409. The design temperature range is -20 to 200 °C, limited by the gasket material. Higher pressures require thicker plates and a stronger frame.
The required heat transfer area (1–500 m²) depends on the thermal duty, flow rates, and temperature differences. Consult the manufacturer or supplier to calculate the area based on your specific process conditions.
Yes, the plate heat exchanger is designed for easy disassembly. The plates and gaskets can be removed for cleaning or replacement, which facilitates maintenance and inspection.
