Marine plate heat exchangers
One plate heat exchanger is just 1/6 up to 1/5 weight of tubular heat exchanger at the same efficiency, greatly reducing the load on ship, not to mention the life cycle costs are also much smaller than tube heat exchangers.
Other advantages:
- 50% higher efficiency
- 3-5 times higher K value
- Unique turbulent flow design
- Asymptotic temperature is 1oC only
- Easier maintenance & upgrading with removable plates
Mostly used for oil cooling, motor cooling, heat recovery (energy saving).
Semi-welded, also called condenser, suitable for chilling (chill water supply for cooling of water circulation), air treatment for living room and storage), seafood pre-process and preservation, chemical treatment and most utility systems.
Applied for high pressure or very high temperature conditions.
Applied for production and storage of ice water (ice bank), particularly on the fishing vessels.
To produce the ice water on the vessels.
When supplies of freshwater are scarce or unavailable, for instance on board vessels, platforms, and rigs the need for production becomes evident. Being able to produce freshwater on demand is paramount in the marine and offshore industry. Our freshwater distillers are based on two, or more, titanium plate packs that act as evaporators and condensers.
Other manufacturers commonly just use regular plate heat exchanger plates in the plate packs; however, this produces inferior results.
