Flow of Fluid and Heat Exchange Mechanism
Heat transfer A and B-plates are of identical pattern. One simply turned upside-down becomes to the other so as to obtain a different
flow channel by the gasket line. Further, by the start plate (D-plate) having its portholes with double seal gaskets and the
blind last plate (E-plate), the construction is such that the fluids do not directly contact the frames.
External Structure
The heat transfer plates are thin sheets of corrosion resistant metal such as stainless steel or titanium that are press-formed with
a corrugated pattern on the surface and sealed with synthetic rubber gaskets, which seals the flow channel and directs the fluid
into alternate channels. Such plates are suspended, supported and aligned by guide bars and tightened by bolts between a fixed
and a movable frame. The equipment can adjust the number of plates so as to meet the heat duty.

The overall heat transfer co-efficient (U-value) ranges from
