Fully welded
Field of application For heating, cooling, condensing and evaporating. Typically used for high temperature and high-pressure duties, e.g. in power, chemical, petrochemical and sugar industries
Description A fully-welded, gasket-free heat exchanger combining highly efficient plates and strong vessel construction. The asymmetric and flexible design allows extremely low-pressure drop if required. Can be fully customised to meet individual needs
Material Plates: AISI 316L or most alloys
Vessel: AISI 316L or carbon steel
Temperature -200 – 900°C (-328 – 1,652 °F)
Pressure -1 – 60 bar gauge (-14 – 870 Psi)
Transmission area/duty Up to 8,000 m² per unit (86,111 ft²)
Maintenance access Full accessibility for cleaning and inspection without removal of piping. Further cleaning by the circulation of cleaning fluids (CIP)
Plate & Shell
Field of application For duties at high temperatures or pressures, frequently applied as an evaporator, condenser or heat exchanger for media where gaskets should be avoided. Strong construction excellent for steam duties
Description A fully-welded, gasket-free heat exchanger combining highly efficient plates and a strong cylindric vessel construction
Material Plates: AISI 316L, or most alloys
Vessel: AISI 316L or carbon steel
Temperature -30 – 300°C (-22 – 572°F)
Pressure 0 – 40 bar gauge (0 – 580 Psi)
Transmission area/duty Up to 14 m² (150 ft²)
Maintenance access Openable version can be high-pressure cleaned on one side. Further cleaning by the circulation of cleaning fluids (CIP)Advantages APV Heat Exchangers
