Plateflow heat exchangers provide close temperature control of fluids for heat recovery in a compact, plate-and-frame design. As an alternative to shell-and-tube exchangers, they come in 20 models for surfaces to 9180 ft2. Efficient countercurrent flow yields heat transfer coefficients three to five times greater than other exchangers.
