The biggest advantage of plate heat exchangers compared to other heat exchangers is their heat transfer efficiency. Plates separating the two fluids are thinner compared to other material alternatives. This increases the heat transfer rate and thus reduces the heat losses that may occur during the transfer.
Plate heat exchangers are not only efficient but also prevent the formation of deposits and dirt that can accumulate over time. It also protects the system against excessive pressure that may occur in the plumbing system. Exchangers are invaluable thanks to these features that increase the lifetime of the system. Plate heat exchangers can take many roles such as heating element, cooling element, circuit breaker or pressure breaker.
