Plate heat exchangers have been widely used in central heating, food, machinery, metallurgy, the petrochemical industry, and ships, and have become the leading heat exchange equipment in urban central heating projects. In order to ensure the normal operation of the plate heat exchanger and prolong the service life of key components, it is especially important to understand the failures of the plate heat exchanger, their causes, and treatment methods. The following is a description of how to deal with the heat exchanger when the pressure drop is too large.
With increasing use, the heat exchanger's heat transfer efficiency will inevitably be affected, thus affecting normal operation. There are many reasons for the low heat transfer efficiency of plate heat exchangers. Because we all know that the plate heat exchanger heat transfer efficiency is very high, and this is one of the reasons why people often choose it. Today we will discuss this issue.
Even a plate heat exchanger can have problems during the course of a year and require maintenance, especially its seals, to see if it has loosened.
The plate heat exchanger is a new type of high-efficiency heat exchanger made of metal sheets with certain corrugated shapes stacked on top of each other. A thin rectangular channel is formed between the various plates, and heat is exchanged through the plates. The plate heat exchanger is an ideal equipment for liquid-to-liquid and liquid-to-vapor heat exchange.
