Schmidt-Bretten Welded Plate Heat Exchangers |
|||
Compact and Rugged |
|||
| Welded Plate Heat Exchangers represent the most compact, rugged and cost-effective means of transferring heat in many industrial applications. Built entirely from 316 stainless steel, 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. The plates are then bonded together at their contact points. This yields a strong, unitized construction. Gaskets common to other technologies are eliminated.

|||
Typical Applications |
|||
| The unique capabilities of the API welded plate heat exchanger makes it suitable for a wide range of applications that extend beyond refrigeration including: | |||
