Plate and shell heat exchangers

Plate&Shell-® heat exchanger is the forerunner in heat exchanger technology; compact and manufactured to a high standard of quality. At the heart of our heat exchanger is a fully welded pack of circular plates, with pressure containment achieved using a strong, unique shell construction. With its construction, the Tipo Heat Exchangers Plate & Shell heat exchanger combines the best.

Features of Plate Heat exchanger and Shell & Tube exchangers:

  • High pressure and high temperature capability
    With its round and fully welded construction, Tipo Heat Exchangers unit offers a durable solution that can stand high pressures and temperatures.
  • Compact size
    Tipo Heat Exchangers PSHE requires only 25% of the surface compared to Shell & Tube heat exchangers, however, it is possible to construct PSHE exchangers with over 2000 mtr² of heat transfer area. The compact size of the Tipo Heat Exchangers PSHE minimizes installation, operating and maintenance costs, which again saves energy and the environment.
     
  • Robust and gasket-free construction 
    The gasket-free construction is durable enough for the harshest conditions and prevents maintenance issues and no leakages in very high / low pressures and temperatures.
  • High thermal efficiency
    The construction of the Tipo Heat Exchangers PSHE creates high turbulence between the plates, which enables very high thermal efficiency. This allows user to take full advantage of a compact heat transfer solution in extremes of temperature and pressure, which was not possible in traditional compact heat exchangers.

Рroduct variations Plate and shell heat exchangers

  • Plate & Shell –Fully weldedThis heat exchanger with a gasket-free shell construction offers significant space saving compared to Shell &Tube heat exchangers.
  • Plate & Shell –Openable
    The Openable version offers increased flexibility of use by allowing the fully welded plate pack to be completely withdrawn from the shell for inspection or cleaning. This is achieved by the use of a flanged and bolted shell construction. The cassette type plate pack allows quick and easy removal and refitting, thus, ensuring that process downtime is kept to a minimum.
  • Plate & Shell Compact
    The model was developed by Tipo Heat Exchangers to offer an even more compact unit than the standard PSHE construction. By using a clever system of internal flow directors, it is possible to have all 4 primary and secondary fluid connections on one end of the unit, which reduces the required space even further.
  • Plate & Shell Systems
    The Tipo Heat Exchangers Plate and Shell systems includes a unique droplet separator, which brings about space savings compared to traditional models.
  • Plate & Shell Combined 
    Tipo Heat Exchangers Combined is an excellent solution when space is very limited and even more space is needed that the Systems model can offer. The Combined solution integrates the evaporator and separation system within a single vessel, which makes integration and installation easier.
