The SupermaxTM all-welded plate heat exchanger incorporates the benefits of plate and frame exchangers without gaskets. The SupermaxTM all-welded plate heat exchanger provides the thermal efficiency and compactness of a plate and frame unit under conditions that would ordinarily call for a shell and tube unit. Designed for use with liquids, gases and two phase mixtures at pressures to 1000 psig and at temperatures up to 1,000 F, the SupermaxTM unit works well with aggressive media, such as organic solvents, steam heaters and interchangers that are beyond the capability of a gasketed unit. The unit features a plate side and a shell side, which offers high pressure ratings. It has alternating channels for hot and cold media, and can offer true counter-current or co-current flow. Nozzle sizes up to 18" can be accommodated on the shell side of the exchanger, offering higher steam and liquid flow rates. Nozzles on the plate side can be up to 4". The SupermaxTM unit can be fabricated from dissimilar metals when only one side will be exposed to corrosive conditions.
Applications:
- high temp thermal oil processing
- high temperature interchanger heaters of organic chemicals desuperheaters in heat recovery
- evaporators and condensers Advantages: Choice of material to suit application Compactness, offering considerable reduction in size and weight compared to a shell-and-tube exchanger Thermal efficiency: significantly higher levels of heat transfer coefficient
