Plate Heat Exchangers

DOLPHIN, in partnership with CIPRIANI (Italy), proudly serves the Middle East with cutting-edge Plate Heat Exchangers (PHEs). Renowned for their durability and performance, CIPRIANI’s PHEs are designed to deliver long-lasting and reliable heat transfer solutions.

 

Plate Heat Exchangers are efficient devices designed for high-performance heat transfer using a series of thin, corrugated plates. Their compact design, easy maintenance, and superior thermal efficiency make them ideal for HVAC, industrial, and processing applications.

Why Choose Plate Heat Exchangers?

Plate Heat Exchangers offer several advantages over traditional heat transfer systems like spiral or shell-and-tube exchangers:

  • Space Efficiency: Compact design requires minimal floor space.
  • Scalability: Easily expandable for increasing capacity needs.
  • Superior Efficiency: Enhanced heat transfer performance with a closer approach temperature.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Reduced operational and maintenance costs.
  • Ease of Maintenance: Simple cleaning and servicing.
How Do Plate Heat Exchangers Work?

DOLPHIN’s Plate Heat Exchangers from CIPRIANI are designed for maximum heat transfer efficiency.

  • Core Design:
    • Comprised of a series of grooved plates, each individually gasketed and compressed within a robust frame.
    • Fluids enter and exit through portholes located on one or both ends of the frame.
  • Heat Transfer Process:
    • The fluid to be heated or cooled flows down one side of each plate, while the heating or cooling medium flows in the opposite direction on the other side.
    • This counterflow arrangement creates a significant temperature differential, enabling maximum heat transfer with minimal energy loss.
Construction and Operation
  • Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers (BPHEs):
    • Constructed from thin, acid-resistant plates stamped and assembled in alternating orientations.
    • Plates are vacuum-brazed at high temperatures, forming a permanently sealed unit.
    • BPHEs do not use rubber gaskets, enabling them to handle extreme conditions.
High Temperature and Pressure Capabilities
  • Wide Temperature Range: Operates from -180°C to +200°C, making it suitable for diverse applications.
  • High Pressure Handling: Capable of withstanding pressures up to 30 bar for demanding operational requirements.
Key Benefits
  • Efficiency: Maximum heat transfer with minimal energy consumption.
  • Versatility: Suitable for applications across HVAC, industrial processing, and more.
  • Durability: Robust construction for long-term, reliable operation in harsh environments.
  • Compact and Expandable: Save space and scale easily as needed.
