Wide-gap Plate heat exchanger
Wide-gap plate heat exchanger for general heating, cooling and heat recovery of media containing fibres and coarse particles. In addition the wide-gap channels are suitable for highly viscous fluids.
Standard Design
The Wide-gap plates feature coarse corrugations with a cross-section width of approximately 11 mm (5/12”) between the plates, and have flat non-corrugated portholes for the product channels. The Wide-gap plate heat exchanger can be used in two configurations, Wide-gap/Narrow-gap and Medium-gap/Medium-gap.
Typical capacities
Liquid flow rate
Up to 677 m3/h (2707 USGPM), depending on media, permitted pressure drop and temperature program.
