Plate heat exchanger Tranter Series GXD
Structurally, plate heat exchangers are made in the form of a set of corrugated plates clamped between two thick steel plates using coupling bolts. This design of the heat exchangers provides easy access to them for inspection and cleaning.
Each heat exchange plate is made in the form of a single part that does not have seams or joints.
Each plate has 4 holes, one in each corner. In multichannel heat exchangers, special separation plates are provided, in which 2 holes are not punched.
Rubber sealing washers are glued to the heat-conducting surface and holes. Washers are held on both sides of the plates by special protrusions. 2 washers are provided for each hole to prevent leaks. When the washers break, the leak is visible on the surface of the heat exchanger.
Plates heat exchangers GXD they are stamped in such a way that when assembled they form cells with 2 sharp and 2 obtuse angles. A channel is formed between two adjacent plates using gaskets.
Gaskets create a system of channels in a set of plates through which two media circulate, between which heat exchange is carried out. The direction of liquid flow through the GXD heat exchangers is diagonal.
