FluidEX® Multi-section Hygienic
The FluidEX® Multi-section Hygienic plate heat exchanger is constructed with a number of sections incorporating with partitions and all contact points in 304 or 316 stainless with steel food grade gaskets .
Advantages:
- High heat exchange efficiency and low operating costs
- Convenient maintenance with easy disassembly and cleaning
- Quick Expansion
- Excellent turbulence effect
FluidEX® Fully Welded
FluidEX® Fully Welded plate heat exchangers incorporate a series of corrugated metal plates welded by laser or argon arc welding. Having no gasket seal means the heat exchanger can be used in extreme working conditions of high temperature and high pressure.
Fully welded plate heat exchangers are divided into:
- non-detachable fully welded
- 2-sided detachable fully welded
- 4-sided detachable fully welded (Compbloc) and
- wide channel fully welded
Advantages:
- Fully Welded without Gaskets
- High Temperature and High Pressure Resistance
- High Heat Exchange Efficiency
- Compact Structure:
- Light Weight with Small Footprint
FluidEX® Plate Evaporator
Due to their high efficiency and energy saving capabilities, FluidEX® Plate Evaporators are widely used in many industries including chemicals, metallurgy, food, pharmaceutical, paper, environmental protection.
Plate evaporators are mainly based on semi-welded technology using rising film or falling film plate evaporation.
Structure
- Gasketed & Hang-on frame design
- Flow section and flow path with rising plate
- Non-glued gasket sealing
Advantages
- Higher O.H.T.C than shell and tube type evaporator
- Better fouling resistance, low retention for better production quality
- Easy for maintenance and expansion
FluidEX® Plate Condenser
The FluidEX® Plate Condenser has been developed to condense steam based on an evaporation or distillation system under vacuum conditions.
Using semi-welded techniques with special plate packs and gaskets, the cooling medium is warmed up in a gasketed channel while the steam vapour enters through the larger inlet and, when condensed, is released through the smaller outlet connection.
FluidEX® Plate Condensers are primarily used in conjunction with a plate evaporator as a condensation of steam in an evaporation or distillation system with its high heat exchange effect, low input cost and convenient maintenance operation.
Structure
- Gasketed, Non-glued gasket sealing
- Hang-on frame design
Advantages
- Porthole configuration design specially for maximizing heat transfer processing
- Different channel gap sizes of two side media for minimizing fouling
- Compact welded structure for lowering equipment cost
