Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are used to process heat exchange between different fluids at different temperatures. Heat exchangers are built in different styles and configurations depending on the process application.
- Plate & Frame
- Plate heat exchangers are ideal for applications requiring compactness and high thermal efficiency. Their scalable design allows for easy expansion and maintenance.
- Shell & Tube
- Shell and tube heat exchangers while less heat efficient than a plate and frame, don't rely on gasket seals. This makes them particularly useful when working with fluids at higher pressures or temperatures.
- Scraped Surface
- Scraped surface heat exchangers excel in handling high-viscosity products or applications with larger particle sizes. This type is essential in applications where preventing product buildup on the heat transfer surface is critical, offering superior product quality in applications like meat processing and peanut butter.
