Common Replacement Parts for Plate-Type Heat Exchangers

1. Plates: The Core of Heat Transfer

• Function: These are the primary heat transfer surfaces in your exchanger, prone to wear from corrosion, scaling, or mechanical damage.
• Material Options:
  • Stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability.
  • Titanium for applications involving aggressive chemicals.
  • Copper and specialized alloys for enhanced thermal conductivity.
• Design Variations: Gasketed or welded plates to suit your system's specific requirements.

2. Gaskets: Ensuring Leak-Free Operation

• Function: Gaskets seal the plates, maintaining efficiency by preventing fluid leakage.
• Material Options:
  • Rubber or elastomers for high-temperature and chemical resistance.
  • PTFE (Teflon) for extreme conditions involving corrosive fluids.
• Styles Available: Channel, single, or double-gasket designs tailored to application needs.

3. Bolts and Clamps: Structural Integrity

• Function: These components secure the plate stack, ensuring alignment and proper sealing.
• Material Options:
  • Steel or stainless steel for strength and longevity.
  • Corrosion-resistant alloys for harsh environments like Yukon or Alaska.

4. Frames: Structural Support

• Function: Frames provide the necessary support for the plate stack, ensuring operational stability.
• Material Options:
  • Carbon steel for cost-effective durability.
  • Stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance in demanding conditions.

5. Pressure Plates and End Covers

• Function: These components maintain uniform pressure across the plates, accommodating thermal cycling and operational stress.
• Maintenance Need: Regular replacement can prevent wear-related inefficiencies.

6. Sealing Elements: Protecting Against Leaks

• Function: Sealing elements prevent fluid leakage between the plates and frame, ensuring consistent performance.
• Replacement Indicators: Worn-out or brittle seals should be replaced promptly to avoid operational downtime.
