Description

PILLOW PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER
 

Like common Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger, Pillow Plate Heat Exchanger realizes thermal transfer through Embossed or Corrugated plate; however, it is seal by welding not gasket. Furthermore, one side fluid goes into Embossed Pillow Plate, another side fluid goes between Embossed Pillow Plate. In view of the distance or gap of each set Pillow Plate could adjust, so it can make into Wide Gap or Free Flow Heat Exchanger for one side.
 

 

Compared with other types of Plate Heat Exchanger, Pillow Plate Heat Exchanger has its unique features and advantages, especially for fluid containing more impurities or high viscosity or complex applications. From following chart, we see various applications that Pillow Plate Heat Exchanger could engage in.
