Plate Heat Exchangers
Schmidt Welded Plate Heat Exchangers |
||||||
| SIGMAWIG welded Plate Heat Exchangers represent the most compact,
rugged and cost-effective means of transferring heat in many industrial
applications. Built entirely without gaskets or with an O-ring type gasket between the all-welded plate pack and frame, they provide
exceptional corrosion resistance. The exchanger features corrugated
plates that produce highly turbulent flow in a true counter-current
direction. The result is high efficiency in a very compact design.
Due to the smaller size and reduced material content, welded plate
heat exchangers can be the most economical heat transfer choice.

Convenient Low-Cost Piping |
||||||
| The standard design has all piping connections located
on one end of the heat exchangers. This simplifies installation and
maintenance costs. Many times, the piping alone is all that is required
to adequately support the heat exchanger, thus eliminating support
considerations and labor costs in packaged equipment. |
||||||
Reduced Liquid Volume |
||||||
| API welded plate heat exchangers have narrow flow channels
and reduced liquid volume needs. Due to their efficiency, they can
be selected to use less coolant. |
||||||
Reliable Heavy-Duty Construction |
||||||
| The exchanger design features plates with computer-designed
corrugations in a "chevron pattern" that is alternated from plate
to plate. This yields a strong, unitized construction. There are two options for incorporating the welded plate pack into the pressure frame. The plate pack openings are joined to the nozzles of the pressure frame or for frequent temperature fluctuation. The sealing between plate pack and pressure frame is ensured by a standard O-ring sealing material like EPDM or by a special high resistant material like Viton or Kalrez. Gaskets common to other
technologies are eliminated. |
