The transfer happens mainly by conduction through the thin plate material and convection as the fluids flow across the plate surfaces. This heat exchange can be a very effective process depending on ...

Since 1984, plate heat exchangers ... and short flow path (giving lower pressure drop characteristics and operating in the gravity controlled region) is preferable, although generating higher ...

Plate heat exchangers (PHEs) have been installed in larger heat pump systems and refrigeration systems since the 1980s. Tech-nicians who deal with these systems need to know some specific details of ...
