Wide gap (free flow) gasketed plate and frame heat exchanger

What is Wide Gap plate heat exchanger？

The Wide Gap plate heat exchanger's ample spacing between plates enables seamless passage of fibers and particles through the heat exchanger, minimizing the risk of clogging. Because of the plate pattern and pressing depth design, these fluids flow easily through the heat exchanger. Depending on the duty, Wide Gap GPHE can be configured either with wide-wide or wide-narrow channels. These unique heat-transfer devices were first designed to provide maximum efficiency in transferring heat from one liquid to another or from steam to liquid.

JINFAN WideGap gasketed plate heat exchanger is the perfect solution for processing thick, fibrous, viscous, coarse, dirty, rough, crude, and clumpy fluids. Its wide plate gaps allow fibers and particles to pass through, minimizing clogging and maximizing process uptime easily. From manufacturing to food processing, thousands of WideGap units are helping our customers worldwide achieve significant energy savings.

Advantage of Wide Gap Gasketed Plate and Frame Heat Exchanger

• Compact design, the occupation area can be decreased
• With wide gap flow, it can heat the cold stream to a temperature very close to that of the entering hot stream
• Longer service intervals due to minimized clogging
• Easily optimize performance by reconfiguring plates to suit new operating conditions
