Your Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger Manufacturer in China
Shanghai Jiangxing is an experienced gasketed plate heat exchanger manufacturer in China, offering custom-engineered plate and frame designs for a wide range of industrial applications including HVAC, chemical processing, and power generation.
What are Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers?
A gasketed plate heat exchanger, also known as a plate and frame heat exchanger, transfers heat between two fluids using a series of corrugated metal plates. Shanghai Jiangxing, a specialized manufacturer based in Shanghai, engineers these units to provide highly efficient thermal performance in a compact footprint. The gasketing system seals the plates and directs the fluids into alternating channels, making them ideal for applications requiring frequent cleaning or capacity adjustments.
How to Choose a Plate Heat Exchanger Manufacturer?
Selecting the right manufacturer involves evaluating their engineering capabilities, material expertise, quality control, and export experience. A strong manufacturer like Shanghai Jiangxing offers thermal design using specialized software, a wide selection of plate and gasket materials to match your specific duty, and adherence to international codes like ASME and PED. As a China-based direct manufacturer, we provide significant cost advantages and logistical support for global clients, managed by our contact Evan at jxmike@shheatex.com.
What materials are used for plates and gaskets?
The choice of materials is critical for compatibility and longevity. Common plate materials we offer include stainless steel (316L), which is standard for many industrial fluids, and more exotic alloys like Titanium and 254 SMO for corrosive applications such as seawater or aggressive chemicals. Gaskets are available in various compounds, including NBR for water and oil applications, EPDM for steam or hot water, and Viton for high-temperature chemical duties. Our engineers help you select the optimal combination for your process.
What are the typical design and performance specifications?
Gasketed plate heat exchangers from Shanghai Jiangxing can be custom-built to meet precise performance needs. We design units to handle flow rates from very low to thousands of cubic meters per hour, with pressure ratings typically up to 25 bar. Our designs are optimized for close temperature approach and high thermal efficiency, ensuring maximum energy recovery for your process. Every unit is manufactured in accordance with GB standards and can be certified to ASME or PED codes upon request.
