Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers The plate-and-frame or gasketed plate heat exchanger (PHE) consists of a number of thin rectangular metal plates sealed around the edges by gaskets and held together in a frame The frame usually has a fixed end cover (headpiece) fitted with connecting ports and a movable end cover (pressure plate, follower, or tailpiece). In the frame, the plates are suspended from an upper carrying bar and guided by a bottom arraying bar to ensure proper alignment. For this purpose, each plate is notched at the center of its top and bottom edges. The plate pack with fixed and movable end covers is clamped together by long bolts, thus compressing the gaskets and forming a seal.
