With a heat exchanger plate, heat cuts through the surface and separates the hot medium from the cold. Thus, heating and cooling fluids and gases use minimal energy levels. The theory of heat transfer between mediums and fluids happens when: Heat is always transferred from a hot medium to a cold medium.
Why is plate heat exchanger best?
Heat exchangers plate are up to five times more efficient than shell-and-tube designs with approach temperatures as close as 1°F. Heat recovery can be increased substantially by simply exchanging existing shell-and-tubes for compact heat exchangers.
What is the difference between plate and coil heat exchanger?
Plate heat exchangers function to full performance with only small volumes of the store heated, allowing the use of an economy mode, and providing hot water within minutes of a cold start up. Coil type stores suffer badly from limescale depositing within the coil.
