Plate heat exchange unit is an efficient and energy-saving heat exchange equipment, mainly composed of plate heat exchangers, pumps, valves, pipelines, control systems, and supports. Its main function is to achieve heat and cold transfer between different media. Plate heat exchange units can be widely used in fields such as chemical, petroleum, electricity, food, medicine, papermaking, etc. The following is an introduction to the basic structure and main characteristics of plate heat exchange units:
1. Basic structure
The main part of a plate heat exchanger unit is a plate heat exchanger, which usually consists of multiple sets of overlapping plates. Each set of plates has a waveform structure, forming many narrow channels, allowing for rapid transfer of heat or cold between the media. There are pipes, valves, pumps, etc. installed around the plate heat exchanger to facilitate the lifting and maintenance of the unit. The control system is equipped with pressure, temperature, flow and other detection and control equipment, which can achieve automatic control of the unit.
2. Main Features
(1) Efficient and energy-saving: The plate heat exchanger of the plate heat exchange unit adopts a novel structure and design, which makes the heat or cold transfer between the media faster and more effective, and can increase the energy utilization rate of the unit to over 90%, greatly reducing operating costs.
(2) Convenient cleaning: The structure of the plate heat exchanger is simple, and the detachable plates are easy to clean, which can ensure the heat exchange effect and excellent operation status of the unit.
(3) Small footprint: The structural design of the plate heat exchanger is compact, with small footprint, low cost, and high efficiency, greatly improving the problems of large volume and high land cost that exist in other heat exchange equipment.
(4) Wide applicability: The working principle of plate heat exchangers can be applied to transfer heat between fluids of different temperatures, viscosities, and flow rates, and can also handle the needs of heat and cooling transfer between different media. Therefore, they can be widely used in various fields and play an important role.
Overall, plate heat exchange units have been widely used in many industries due to their high efficiency, low energy consumption, and other characteristics. They are a modern, high-quality, and efficient heat exchange equipment.
