When to Choose a GASKETED Plate Heat Exchanger:

Choose a GPHE when serviceability and flexibility are your top priorities.

• The Fluid Foules: If your fluid has suspended solids, fibers, or tends to scale (like in some water circuits), you will need to open the unit periodically to clean it. A GPHE is the only practical choice here.
• Frequent Duty Changes: If your process requirements change, you can easily add or remove plates in a GPHE to increase or decrease its capacity.

Handling Aggressive or Expensive Fluids: While the gaskets must be compatible, the ability to inspect and replace them is a safety benefit. If a gasket fails, it leaks externally, giving you a visible warning without

• contaminating the other fluid stream.
• High Hygiene Standards: Industries like food, dairy, and pharmaceuticals often require regular disassembly for thorough cleaning and inspection, making GPHEs mandatory.

Key Advantage of GPHE: It is a serviceable, flexible, and forgiving system.
