Let start with What is gasketed plate heat exchanger? Before going in-depth, because many of us are not aware of this. In a gasketed plate heat exchanger, the plates are fitted with elastomeric gaskets which seal the channels and direct the fluids into alternate channels. The plate pack is assembled between a frame plate and a pressure plate, and compressed by tightening bolts fitted between these plates. With a plate heat exchanger, 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.
The most frequently used version of this is the 2-pass execution, where the flow travels 2 times the plate length before exiting on the other side. Due to the flow arrangement of multi-pass units, the inlet and outlet connections must be on opposing sides.
Let see how it works.
In a gasketed plate heat exchanger, the plates are fitted with elastomeric gaskets which seal the channels and direct the fluids into alternate channels. The plate pack is assembled between a frame plate and a pressure plate, and compressed by tightening bolts fitted between these plates. The channel plates and the pressure plate are suspended from an upper carrying bar and located by a lower guiding bar, both of which are fixed to the support column. The physical design of the gasketed plate heat exchanger allows easy cleaning, and modification of capacity by the addition or removal of plates.
This image shows the working principle of an Alfa Laval liquid/liquid 2-pass gasketed plate-and- frame heat exchanger where the fluids run counter-currently through the heat exchanger. The turning plate in the middle of the plate pack directs the flow into the two passes. The hot liquid (illustrated in red) enters through one of the connections in the frame plate. The fluid runs through the heat exchanger in two passes and then leaves through one of the connections in the pressure plate. The cold liquid (illustrated in blue) simultaneously enters through one of the connections in the pressure plate and leaves through one of the connections in the frame plate.
As the fluids pass through the heat exchanger, heat is transferred from the hot media to the cold media. Countercurrent flow enables maximum heat recovery possibilities and a very close temperature approach can be achieved. Temperature cross is also possible, meaning that the hot outlet can reach a lower temperature than the cold outlet. This can only be achieved to a limited extent with tubular heat exchangers making plate-and-frame heat exchangers more thermally efficient.
The fluids enter through the connections and portholes of the heat transfer plates. Specially designed sealing gaskets located between the plates direct the fluids so that the hot and cold fluids pass counter-currently in alternating channels. When the fluid enters between the plates, it passes over the distribution area. Alfa Laval offers two types of distribution areas: our patented CurveFlowTM and the chocolate pattern. Alfa Laval’s well-designed distribution area is one of the most important features of a plate heat exchanger. Its main purpose is to ensure an even flow of fluid over the entire plate while maximizing heat transfer efficiency and minimizing maldistribution and fouling. In the animation, you can see that the distribution area helps the fluids to quickly fill up the entire cross-section of the plates.
The above image shows the flow principle of a conventional gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchanger with a 2-pass configuration, but additional passes are possible. It is also possible to have a different number of passes on each side of the heat exchanger. For bigger models with higher flow rates, reinforcing partition plates are sometimes used which are not shown in the animation. Specialized ranges of the gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchanger are also possible such as our semi-welded and Wide Gap. For very heat-sensitive media, co-current flow is used in gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchangers.
The benefit of this design is that the coldest fluid meets the hottest fluid when entering the heat exchanger, minimizing the risk of overheating or freezing sensitive media. In the animation, you can imagine reversing the cold fluid so that both fluids are entering the frame plate connections. Alfa Laval has an extremely broad range of gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchangers.
A hydraulic oil cooler or sample removes heat from hot oil using cold water or air.
Heat transfer is done by moving exchangers without mixing or direct contact between them.The shell-and-tube heat exchanger passes liquids through the tube and tube, where as a heat exchanger it cools the air and cools the air through the core of the fins to cool a liquid.You can find heat exchangers in a variety of places, usually to heat or cool buildings or to help engines and machines run more efficiently.
Refrigerators and air conditioners, for example, use heat exchangers in the opposite way from central heating systems: they do not dissipate heat from a chamber or room where it is wanted and pump it away in a fluid to a Another place where it can be poured out of the coolant is completely enclosed in a network of pipes, so it does not actually come into contact with air: it takes heat energy from the indoor air and releases it into the outside air.
The tubes are inserted into the cylinder using a tube bundle or "tube stack" that can have fixed tube plates (permanently fixed on the body), or in the case of a Heat Exchange a floating tube stack that can be extended.
It has pipe packages.The shell-and-tube heat exchanger passes liquids through the tube and tube, where as a heat exchanger it cools the air and cools the air through the core of the fins to cool a liquid.Plate heat exchangerPlate heat exchanger ( مبدل حرارتی صفحه ای ) work like single-shell and tube heat exchangers, using a series of stack plates instead of tubes.
Plate heat exchangers are usually narrow or washer depending on the application and the liquids used.
The reason for this is to give the air an adequate period of time to warm up and so that cold air won.
At the heat exchanger, the air is heated and then blown through the duct system into the various rooms via vents in the floor, walls or ceiling.
At this point, the gas will typically burn for at least two minutes before the blower starts to disperse heat throughout your home.Basic MaintenanceWhether you have a gas furnace or an oil furnace, some routine maintenance will be necessary in order keep everything running smoothly and to extend the life of your unit.t be pushed through the vents into the rooms in your house at the start.Basically, the thermostat again senses the temperature in the room.
Understanding its parts and how they work together can help you ensure that your unit is operating efficiently, and may even help you perform small repairs yourself rather than spending big bucks on calling in the pros.
Now that you understand the basics of how a gas furnace works, you can probably handle routine maintenance yourself, with a little more research and some online tutorials.If your home has a gas furnace, you may be curious about how it actually works.
The gas then flows through the burners and is lit up by either a spark or the heat from an ignitor.
