Product Description

Quality control processing for the plate in PHE

Quality control processes for the plates in a Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) are crucial to ensure the efficiency and reliability of the heat exchanger. Here are some key quality control processes for the plates in a PHE:

Material Inspection: Verify the quality and specifications of the plate material, ensuring it meets the required standards for corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and strength.

Dimensional Accuracy: Check the dimensions of the plates to ensure they meet design specifications and tolerances for proper fit and alignment within the heat exchanger.

Surface Finish Inspection: Inspect the surface finish of the plates to ensure they are smooth and free from defects that could affect heat transfer efficiency.

Pressure Testing: Conduct pressure tests on the plates to verify their ability to withstand the operating pressure without deformation or leaks.

Welding Quality: If the plates are welded together, inspect the welding quality to ensure proper bonding and integrity of the weld joints.

Heat Transfer Performance Testing: Evaluate the heat transfer performance of the plates by conducting tests to measure their thermal conductivity and efficiency in transferring heat between fluids.

Corrosion Resistance Testing: Test the plates for corrosion resistance to ensure they can withstand exposure to corrosive fluids and environments.

By implementing these quality control processes for the plates in a PHE, manufacturers can ensure that the heat exchanger operates effectively, efficiently, and reliably in various applications.

ACCESSEN Series Heat Exchanger Plates: 

Selection of heat exchanger plate shape, size, and material is critical in designing an efficient heat exchanger. Here are some key points to consider in selecting the shape, size and material of a heat exchanger plate:

1. Plate Shape : The plate shape chosen must be appropriate to the application requirements and operational conditions. Proper shape can increase heat exchange efficiency and optimize fluid flow.

2. Plate Size : The plate size should be selected taking into account the surface area required for efficient heat exchange. Proper sizing will ensure optimal heat exchanger performance.

3. Plate Material : Selection of plate material is critical to ensure reliability, corrosion resistance and good performance in the long term. The plate material must be suitable for the type of fluid to be processed and the operational conditions.

4. Operational Conditions : Consider temperature, pressure, fluid type, and other operational conditions in selecting plate shape, size, and material. This will help determine the most appropriate plate for a particular application.

5. Cost and Efficiency : Consider the cost of manufacturing, installing, and maintaining a plate heat exchanger in relation to the desired efficiency. Choose a combination of plate shapes, sizes and materials that provides the optimal balance of performance and cost.

By considering the above factors, you can make the right choice in selecting the heat exchanger plate shape, size and material to ensure optimal performance according to your application needs.

• AISI 304 is usually 0.4 or 0.5 mm thickness
• AISI 316 is always 0.5 and 0.6 mm
• 254 SMO (high alloy) typically 0.6 mm
• Titanium plates are always 0.5 and 0.6 mm
• Some have thicker plates (for high pressure applications)
• Some PHEs have 0.4 mm (low pressure operation)
• Hastelloy C-276 (nickel alloy) typically 0.6 mm
