COMPARISON
PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER High efficiency -'U' values, 3 to 5 times greater than shell & tube, often greater than 5000 kcal/hr,C, m2 . In viscous fluid like E.G ,it is around 3500 kal/hr,m2C Uses only 10 % to 50% of the shell and tube space Easy disassembly - Just loosen bolts Low fouling due to corrugation and inherent Turbulance. lower internal volume, quick response. 10-20% of shell & tube Variable heat Surface,Plates easily added or removed. Low weight typically 1/6th of shell and tube. Intermix inbetween tube impossible due to gasket design. Inspection - simply disassemble and inspect. Excellent chemical cleaning due to corrugation/ Turbulance. Maximum Viscosity - 30000 cps nominal Practically no heat loss - no insulation required. Can be dsigned for less than 1 deg C temperature approach with more than 90% heat recovery attainable. Computer custom-designed appliaction Not suitable for system pressure more than 25 bar. In HVAC case the system pressure is less than 8-9 bar Gasket material and plate material should be suitable for the fluid. Gasket can take max of 165 deg C temperature. In water cooling/ mechanical cooling and HVAC appliaction , this limit is much above working temperatures.

MPARISON
SHELL AND TUBE EXCHANGER Low efficiency- 'U' values aroung 2000 kcal/hr,m2C. In viscpous fluid like EG , U is as low as less than 1000 kcal/hr,m2C Need twice as much space to pull tube bundel Complex design, tube bundel must be pulled High fouling, due to circular cross section and channelling,3to10 3 to 10 times greater. Very high internal volume. Fixed surface only High weight- upto six times of plate heat exchanger Fluid can intermix, both at welds and tube sheet. Inspection difficult - must normally pull tube bundel. Satisfactory chemical cleanng , but cautious Maximum viscosity , 10000 cps Greater amount of heat loss, Insulation required. Typically only 8 deg C to 10 deg C temperature approach can be acheived economically. Computer design but oversized to be safe. Suitable for all pressure limits of dead spots

Suitable as long as the metal is available for the fluid and suitable for higher temperatures
