Plate & Shell technology is utilized worldwide in various demanding processes including the oil, gas, chemical, process, energy and refrigeration industries.
Compact and manufactured to the highest standard, Fluid Dynamics’ Plate & Shell Heat Exchangers have at their heart a fully welded pack of circular plates in a strong, unique shell construction.
Our Plate & Shell Heat Exchangers combine the best features of both plate heat exchangers and shell & tube heat exchangers and can withstand very high pressures and both very low and very temperatures.
If you need a Plate & Shell heat exchanger contact Fluid Dynamics to discuss the available options.
Tailored solutions
Our Plate & Shell heat exchangers can be designed and manufactured according to our customer ‘s demands and to find the best thermal solution – design, sizing, customer requirements, application and any specific demands.
Our team’s extensive experience in heat transfer theory, laboratory testing and strong practical experience guarantees our customers the best possible heat exchanger solution while keeping the heat exchanger size, material used and costs at minimum.
Tight production control systems and production processes enable flexible production and short delivery times. The highly skilled and trained personnel are equipped with strong practical experience allow us to guarantee reliable, consistent and durable products.
Compact size
Fluid Dynamics' Plate & Shell heat exchangers require around 25% of the surface area compared to shell & tube heat exchangers yet they can be constructed with with a wide range of heat transfer area. The compact size minimizes installation and reduces operating and maintenance costs saving energy and the environment.
Robust gasket-free construction
The gasket-free construction is durable enough for the harshest conditions, prevents maintenance issues and leakages in very high / low pressures and temperatures.
Plates
The range of the Plate & Shell family currently various sizes and diameters . Plates can be produced in a wide range of materials. After pressing and cutting, the plates are welded together to form a fully welded plate pack. Flanged ports are added to carry flow in and out of the plate pack.
Shells
The fully welded plate pack is assembled into the outer shell creating a second flow path (the ‘Shell side’).
High thermal efficiency
Plate & Shell construction creates high turbulence between the plates which provides very high thermal efficiency. This allows full advantage of a compact heat transfer solution in extreme temperatures and pressures, not possible in traditional compact heat exchangers.
