Water Pumping / Recirculating Systems

Closed Plate Exchanger Pumping Systems (CPX)

A plate-type heat exchanger consists of a series of embossed plates, the number of which is determined by the amount of cooling required. The plates are mounted in a frame and bolted together by end plates. Gaskets between the plates seal the assembly in conjunction with portholes to allow fluids to flow counter-currently in the alternate passages formed between the plates. Plate systems occupy less floor space than a shell and tube type, are easy to clean, and can easily be expanded to add capacity. Plate heat exchangers have extremely high heat transfer coefficients and achieve efficiencies three or more times greater than conventional shell and tube heat exchangers.
