Advantages of Welded Plates
Plate heat exchangers are versatile and inexpensive however the elastomer gaskets can be problematic for some applications. Below are some of the advantages of a welded plate exchanger:
- Gaskets age and need to be replaced on occasion. All welded exchangers can keep operating indefinitely.
- Gasket compatibility is not an issue.
- Equipment can be run at much higher temperatures, up to 300°C.
- Capable of operating at high pressures, up to 25 bar without risk of spraying from gaskets.
