What is a plate-and-frame heat exchanger?

Plate heat exchangers have several essential functions in food, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing:

• Changing and maintaining consistent temperatures for pasteurization
• Transferring heat without contaminating heated fluids
• Achieving energy conservation by re-using heated fluids to heat fluids in repeatable cycles
• Heating water and cleaning fluids for use in efficient cleaning-in-place (CIP)
• Enabling precise control of temperature during sanitizing phases

In the following sections, we will show you how a plate heat exchange is the P.E.R.F.E.C.T. choice for your next heat-transfer solution.

1. Pressure Drop is Lower
2. Efficiency
3. Reduced Maintenance
4. Footprint is Smaller
5. Expandability
6. Capital Expense
