In industrial processes, specialized heat exchange solutions are required for handling challenging fluids such as particle-laden fluids (e.g., slurry), viscous fluids (e.g., syrup), and fiber-containing fluids (e.g., pulp). To ensure reliable production operations, targeted heat exchanger design is critical to address challenges such as blockages and leaks caused by those fluids , this requires customized solutions including erosion-resistant materials, optimized channel geometries, and integrated self-cleaning mechanisms. Wide Gap Welded Plate Heat Exchanger is an ideal heat exchange solution for these applications.
Key design principles include simplified channel geometries, corrosion- and wear-resistant materials, and integrated CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) systems, combined with preheating to reduce fluid viscosity. These strategies enhance heat transfer efficiency, prevent fouling, and extend equipment lifespan. Such technologies are widely adopted in metallurgy, papermaking, mining, and food processing, providing efficient and reliable solutions for complex industrial fluid handling.

Product Details
  • What is TP Welded Plate Heat Exchanger?
    TP Welded Plate Heat Exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that combines the structural features of a ‌shell and tube heat exchanger‌ and a ‌plate heat exchanger‌. It is designed to leverage the advantages of both technologies, Combines the compactness and high heat transfer efficiency of plate heat exchangers with the robustness and high-pressure/temperature resistance of shell and tube heat exchangers. This makes it a highly versatile and efficient solution, ideally suited for a wide range of applications, including ‌liquid-liquid‌, ‌gas-gas‌, and ‌liquid-gas‌ heat transfer processes.
  • How is TP Welded Plate Heat Exchanger Constructed?
    The primary components of the TP Welded Plate Heat Exchanger include one or multiple plate packs, frame of shell and plate, clamping bolts, inlet and outlet connections for both cold and hot sides, baffle plates, and supporting structures. The plate pack is formed by stacking and welding corrugated plates together, with its dimensions varying based on the plate length and the number of plates used.
    Depending on the specific process requirements, the tube side shell and plate side shell can be either welded or bolted, ensuring flexibility and adaptability to different operational conditions. This design not only enhances the equipment's durability and performance but also simplifies maintenance and installation processes.
