Plate Heat Exchangers - Gasketed M-LINE
1.1
The Flexible Choice for Heat Transfer
M-LINE Plate Heat Exchangers
Application
Pasteurization and general cooling/heating of dairy and brewery
products, fruit juices and similar food products.
Design
The heat exchanger consists of a number of corrugated plates
clamped together in a frame and sealed at the edges by means
of gaskets.
The plates have ports at the corners and the gaskets are so
arranged that the two media flow through alternate passages
between the plates. The two media are separated by the plates
and cannot be mixed. Heat is transferred through the plates,
from the hot medium to the cold.
One unit can contain several heat exchangers, separated by
connection plates with spot welded connection pieces.
Frame
The frame consists of a fixed frame plate, a moveable pressure
plate, an upper carrying bar, a lower guiding bar, a support column M10-MFHC
and tightening bolts with nuts and washers.
The frame plate has adjustable feet.
Plate
The corrugation of the plates provides a passage between the
plates, supports each plate against the adjacent one and
enhances the turbulence, resulting in efficient heat transfer.
The plates have a chevron pattern for maximum strength at high
working pressures. Different chevron designs are available, in
order to obtain optimal high heat transfer and low pressure drop.
A unique distribution area provides an even flow over the plate
surface.
The plates are reversible and have parallel flow, which means
only one type of plate is needed.
Gasket Flow principle of a plate heat exchanger
The plates are supplied with glue-free Clip-On gaskets, which
are easy to replace.
No tools are needed to replace the gaskets.
