Introduction To Clip 3 Plate Heat Exchangers

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 interchangeable connections.
