They meet the diverse technological requirements of these industries, including heating, cooling, evaporation, condensation, and waste heat recovery of process media.
PHE Plate Heat Exchanger Product Structure
Definition of PHE Plate Type Heat Exchanger:
The plate heat exchanger is a highly efficient heat exchange system consisting of multiple metal sheets with specific corrugations. The arrangement of these sheets creates thin rectangular channels that facilitate effective heat exchange.
Types of Plate Style Heat Exchanger:
There are primarily two types of plate heat exchangers - detachable plate heat exchangers and fully welded heat exchanger. Fully welded plate heat exchanger employs welded seals design, eliminating the pressure and temperature limitation of detachable plate heat exchangers with rubber gasket seals and improving equipment reliability.
There are three types of plates used in these heat exchangers - herringbone corrugated plates, horizontal straight corrugated plates, and nodular plates.
Composition of Plate and Fin Heat Exchanger:
A plate-fin heat exchanger consists of three main components - fins, partitions, and seals. The fins are placed on one partition, then another partition is placed on top, and both sides are enclosed by seals to form a channel. These channels are stacked and arranged in various configurations and then brazed together to form the core-plate bundle unit of the compact plate fin heat exchanger.
Composition of Plate Heat Exchanger
Plate-fin heat exchanger belongs to dividing wall type heat exchanger. In terms of the heat transfer mechanism, its biggest feature is its extended secondary heat transfer surface, so the heat transfer process is not only carried out on the primary heat transfer surface but also on the secondary heat transfer surface simultaneously, and the secondary heat transfer area is larger, usually 1.5 - 3 times the primary heat transfer surface area. The plate-fin heat exchanger has the secondary heat transfer area, which is incomparable to other heat exchange equipment.
Plate-fin Heat Exchanger
In 2007, Longhua Technology Group (Luoyang) Company established the Tubular Heat Exchanger Division. Based on the guiding ideology of "High Starting Point, High Standard, High Quality and Continuous Innovation", the plate heat exchanger company has accelerated the pace of technology industrialization and successfully launched a series of high-efficiency and compact plate heat exchanger products to meet the market demand, thereby providing clients with high cost-effective heat exchange solutions according to different process conditions (pressure, temperature, medium, etc.).

Advantages of Plate Heat Exchanger
The plate-fin heat exchanger is characterized by its high heat exchange efficiency, small pressure drop, compact structure, small footprint, broad applicability, low metal consumption, and long service life.
Leakage Resistance: Due to its fully welded construction without the need for gaskets, the welded plate block heat exchanger boasts enhanced resistance to leakage, significantly reducing maintenance requirements.
High-Temperature and Pressure Durability: In comparison to traditional shell-and-tube heat exchangers, the PHE-type heat exchanger exhibits superior resistance to both high temperatures and pressures, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging environments.
Optimized Heat Exchange Efficiency: The absence of thermal resistance between fluids and plates contributes to exceptional heat exchange efficiency, allowing for optimal transfer rates.
Space-Efficient Design: Welded Plate Heat Exchangers feature a compact structure, occupying minimal space when compared to other heat exchanger types. This space efficiency is especially valuable in installations with spatial constraints.
Reliability Assurance: At Longhua, we uphold the highest standards of quality and safety. Our products undergo rigorous testing and adhere to certifications such as GRG, FDA, and SGS, ensuring reliability and meeting stringent industry requirements.
Comparison with tubular type:
Each plate bundle is welded by two corrugated plates. One medium passes through the inner channel of the plate bundle, while another medium passes through the outer channel of the plate bundle, so the plate bundle is also called plate tube. The different corrugated forms of the plate can strengthen the flow disturbance in the corrugated flow channel, so that turbulence is formed at a very low Reynolds number, thus enhancing heat transfer. Compared with the heat exchange tube, its advantages are more significant.
For the same pressure loss, its heat transfer coefficient is 3-5 times higher than that of tubular heat exchanger, its floor area is one third of that of tubular heat exchanger, and its heat recovery rate can reach more than 90%.
