Working Principle

Working Principle

Plate heat exchangers basically consist of two inlet ports, ducted heat transfer plates and two outlet ports. Two of these inlet and outlet ports are the inlet and outlet of the heating fluid, and the other two are the fluid to be heated. It is also possible to produce special heat exchangers with more than one heater fluid or more than one fluid to be heated. In this case, number of inlets and outlets will vary.

Working Principle

The function of the plates in the heat exchanger is to provide heat transfer from the heating fluid to the fluid to be heated without mixing the fluids together. The ducted structure of these plates allows the fluid to move with high turbulence. This turbulence causes a more homogeneous heat distribution of the fluid, which provides a more efficient heat conduction.
