ARES Plate Heat Exchanger
ผู้จัดจำหน่ายเครื่องแลกเปลี่ยนความร้อนแบบแผ่น ARES แต่เพียงผู้เดียวของมาเลเซีย
เครื่องแลกเปลี่ยนความร้อนแบบแผ่น ARES (PHE) เป็นเครื่องแลกเปลี่ยนความร้อนชนิดหนึ่งที่ใช้แผ่นโลหะปิดผนึกด้วยปะเก็นเพื่อถ่ายเทความร้อนระหว่างของไหลร้อนและของไหลเย็น ประกอบด้วยเฟรมซึ่งประกอบด้วยฝาครอบด้านหน้า ชิ้นส่วนด้านหลัง (เคลื่อนย้ายได้) คานรองรับ คานนำ และน็อตยึดจำนวนหนึ่ง ขึ้นอยู่กับประเภทของแผ่นแลกเปลี่ยนความร้อน
ความร้อนจะถูกถ่ายโอนจากตัวกลางหนึ่งไปยังอีกตัวกลางผ่านแผ่นซึ่งถูกกดทับ ตัวกลางร้อนและเย็นไหลผ่านระหว่างแผ่นแต่ละแผ่น จากนั้นจะแลกเปลี่ยนความร้อนโดยไม่ผสมกัน
ของเหลวที่ไหลผ่านช่อง PHE จะพบกับการไหลเชี่ยวที่ความเร็วต่ำ ทำให้ประสิทธิภาพการถ่ายเทความร้อนสูงและการเปรอะเปื้อนต่ำ ส่งผลให้หน่วยมีขนาดเล็กลงและกะทัดรัด PHE มีการใช้งานทางอุตสาหกรรมในวงกว้าง โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งในระบบ HVAC น้ำมันและก๊าซ การผลิตไฟฟ้า น้ำมันสำหรับบริโภค ฯลฯ
Compact Structure
Compare to S&T heat exchangers, PHE requires up to 5 times less space to operate.
Expandable
Additional plates can be added to an operating plate heat exhanger. High output – less cost.
Low Cost
Low maintenance cost, typically with only gaskets as the wear & tear part.
Efficient Design
PHE is capable of creating high turbulence which results in higher heat transfer coefficient and better heat transfer value.
Easy Maintenance
The whole heat transfer area can be reached by only loosening the bolts of the PHE.
Low Downtime
Time for maintenance (cleaning, leak control etc) is significantly reduced.
Plate Heat Exchanger Structure
Plate Structure
The heat transfer plates are mainly produced from SS304, SS316, SMO, Hastelloy or Titanium material, 0.5 mm – 1 mm plate sheets. In general, there are two types of plate for each model which are thermally long and thermally short plates. The difference between them is that the wide and narrow angle on the herringbone pattern.
Thermally Long Plates:
- High turbulence output
- Close temperature approach (LMTD: 1°C)
- High pressure loss
Thermally Short Plates:
- Low turbulence output
- Low heat transfer value
- Low pressure loss
Gasket Types
Gaskets are among most critical element of the plate heat exchanger. Depending on the temperature and fluid type the material of the gaskets may vary. The most common type of gaskets are NBR and EPDM gaskets. For different applications there are other specific types of gaskets such as Viton and Silicone. The contamination or mixing of the two fluids are prevented by using the following gaskets system. Only one side of the gasket has contact with the fluid and the other side has contact with the atmosphere. Therefore, in any case of leakage the fluid runs outside of the plate heat exchanger rather than mixing with the other fluid.
| Gasket Type | Maximum Working Temperature |
| NBR | 120 °C – 140 °C |
| EPDM | 140 °C – 160 °C |
| Viton | 180 °C – 200 °C |

PHE Series
AWG Series – Wide Gap Plates
AWG Series consists of only wide gap plates. Compare to A Series plates, AWG plates have 5.5 mm to 12 mm plate gap which makes them easier to use in applications where contamination in the fluid is high.
ASW Series – Semi Welded Plates
A cassette contains two plates laser welded together. The advantage of this method is; one side has a welded plate channel and the other side has a traditional plate channel with gaskets. On the welded side, there are two specially produced corner hole gaskets creating the sealing between two cassettes. Thus, the gasket exposure to the fluid is reduced to a minimum on welded side.
ADP Series – Double Wall Plates
Two plates lair-welded together to ensure safety. For applications such as pharmaceutical industry, food & beverage, district heating, cooling of transformer oil, etc, where it is crucial that medium are not mixed.
FAQ
What are the components in a plate heat exchanger?
A plate heat exchanger unit consists of frame, carry bar, supporting bar, tightening rod and bolts, plates and gaskets.
How long does the plate heat exchanger last?
The lifespan of a plate heat exchanger is around 10 years in full working order and could be longer if maintenance is properly and regularly conducted.
Do I need to clean my heat exchanger?
Like all mechanical equipment, heat exchangers require a regimen of regular maintenance. Fouling and corrosion are two of the common causes of performance degradation. The common practice of cleaning the heat exchanger is by rinsing, chemical cleaning, and changing the plates’ gasket if deem necessary.
Where are plates heat exchanger used?
Plate heat exchangers are used in applications where liquid heating or cooling is required. They are used in various working application such as textile industries, food and beverages industries, steel industries and surface treatment. They’re also used for economizer circuits and heat recovery circuits to reduce the cooling load on the chillers.
How does a plate heat exchanger work?
Plate heat exchanger consist of a series of parallel plates that are placed one above the other to allow the formation of a series of channels for fluids to flow between them. The heat exchanger consists of four channels which are cold side inlet and outlet and hot side inlet and outlet. The fluid flows from the inlet from both hot and cold side and the movement of the fluids will increase its temperature on the cold side and reduce in temperature in the hot side.
What is a plate heat exchanger?
A plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that uses metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. Basically, the heat is transfer between two plates which would make the liquids increase and reduce in temperature.
