The plate heat exchanger is composed of a set of corrugated metal plates with four corner holes for the passage of two liquids for heat transfer. The metal sheet is mounted in a frame having a fixed plate and a movable pressing plate on one side and clamped by a clamp bolt. A gasket is placed over the plate to seal the fluid passages and direct fluid flow alternately into the respective passages to form a heat exchange.

The flow, physical properties, pressure drop and temperature difference of the fluid determine the number and size of the plates. The corrugation of the plate not only increases the degree of turbulence but also forms a number of support points sufficient to withstand the pressure difference between the media.

The metal plate and the movable compression plate are suspended on the upper guide bar and positioned by the lower guide bar, while the rod end is fixed on the support. On the column, but if one or both of the liquids pass through the heat exchanger more than once, the interface should be on the fixed plate and the movable compression plate. In most cases, one-way is used, and all the pipes are connected to the fixed platen. On, check the shoes to open the heat exchanger without disassembling the pipe.
