In recent years, the heat exchange equipment industry has developed rapidly, and plate heat exchangers, as one of the outstanding ones, have developed particularly rapidly.
With its many advantages, it is favored by more and more users.
When selecting and designing a heat exchanger for a certain technological process, factors such as its design pressure, design temperature, medium characteristics and economy should be considered.
So what are the influencing factors of the pressure drop of the plate heat exchanger?
Let me introduce it to you today.
The design of the pressure drop parameters of the plate heat exchanger is very important. If the medium pressure drop is too large, if the medium pressure is insufficient in the subsequent process, a pump needs to be purchased for pressurization. If the pressure drop is too small, the heat exchanger
Too much heat area will increase the input cost.
So what are the factors that affect it?
The first is the number of heat exchanger plates. The number of plates determines the number of flow channels. The volume flow of the medium is constant. When the medium passes through the heat exchanger, the more flow channels there are, the slower the flow rate of the medium in it.
Then the pressure loss is smaller.
Furthermore, when the corner hole of the heat exchanger is smaller, the flow rate through the interface is higher, and the pressure drop will increase.
Also, if the heat exchange equipment is blocked, the pressure drop will increase.
Through the above introduction, it will be found that the pressure drop of the plate heat exchanger is affected by the number of plates, corner holes and whether it is blocked.
Therefore, we must consider comprehensively when designing, and clean the equipment regularly.
Qingdao RPT has rich experience in the selection and design of heat exchangers, and can design ideal and suitable heat exchange equipment according to different process requirements.
