Stainless Steel Plate and Frame

Core Components & Materials

◆ Plates: Stainless steel plates. Laser - cut for precise dimensions, they form a corrugated structure that creates turbulent flow, enhancing heat transfer. The stainless - steel material ensures corrosion resistance against common HVAC fluids.

◆ Gaskets: NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) gaskets. Provide excellent resistance to HVAC fluids (such as water - glycol mixtures) and temperature fluctuations (operating range: - 20°C to 120°C typical, subject to fluid compatibility).

◆ Frame: Compression frame. Holds the plates and gaskets securely, enabling modular assembly and disassembly for easy maintenance and capacity adjustment.

Performance Parameters

◆ Heat Transfer Coefficient: 3000 - 5000 W/(m²·K). The corrugated plate design and turbulent flow result in high heat transfer efficiency, allowing for effective heating or cooling of water in commercial buildings.

◆ Flow Rate: Depends on plate size and configuration. Typically, can handle flow rates from 5 - 500 m³/h for different capacity requirements.

◆ Pressure Rating: Up to 1.6 MPa (subject to design and gasket material; higher pressure ratings available with custom designs).

◆ Temperature Range: Compatible with fluids from - 20°C to 120°C (limited by NBR gasket; alternative gasket materials like EPDM or Viton can extend range for specific applications).

Structural Design & Efficiency

◆ Corrugated Plate Design: Creates turbulent flow within the heat exchanger, increasing the heat transfer coefficient by up to 40% compared to traditional smooth - plate designs. This allows for more compact units with the same heat transfer capacity.

◆ Modular Construction: The plate and frame design enables easy capacity adjustment. Plates can be added or removed to meet the varying heating and cooling demands of large - scale HVAC systems in commercial and industrial buildings.

◆ Maintenance - Friendly: Easy disassembly for cleaning plates and replacing gaskets, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Laser - cut plates ensure consistent performance over time.

Application Scenarios

◆ Commercial Buildings: Efficiently heats or cools water in HVAC systems for office buildings, shopping malls, and hotels, providing stable indoor temperature control.

◆ Industrial Facilities: Suitable for process heating and cooling in industrial environments, where precise temperature control and high heat transfer efficiency are required.

Key Advantages

◆ High Heat Transfer Efficiency: Corrugated plates and turbulent flow boost efficiency by up to 40%, enabling compact design and energy savings.

◆ Corrosion Resistance: Stainless - steel plates and NBR gaskets resist common HVAC fluids and temperature fluctuations, ensuring long - term durability.

◆ Modular & Scalable: Easy capacity adjustment via adding/removing plates, adapting to changing heating/cooling demands in large - scale buildings.

◆ Low Maintenance: Simple disassembly for cleaning and gasket replacement, minimizing operational interruptions.

Technical Compliance

◆ Complies with industry standards for HVAC heat exchange equipment, including ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) and EN (European Norm) requirements for pressure vessels and heat exchanger performance.

Packaging & Logistics

◆ Packaging: Protected with anti - scratch and shock - absorbing materials. Plates are separated to prevent damage during transit, and the frame is secured in a sturdy crate.

◆ Delivery Time: 7 - 17 working days after order confirmation, depending on customization (e.g., plate quantity, gasket material). Shipped via freight carriers suitable for industrial equipment.
