Reasonable selection of heat exchange area is the key to procurement. When selecting the heat exchanger, the required flow shall be selected according to the process requirements, the viscosity of the feed liquid, the temperature difference of the heat exchange, etc. Excessive flow will cause waste, and the flow channel is easy to block. If the pressure is too small, it will affect the use, increase the non fermentation time, and cause damage to the deflector due to excessive pressure. Therefore, scientific selection and purchase shall be made according to working conditions. The plate thickness of plate heat exchanger is only 0.6~0.8mm, and the heat exchange tube thickness of shell and tube heat exchanger is 2.0~2.5mm; The shell of shell and tube heat exchanger is much heavier than the layout of plate heat exchanger. In the case of completing the same heat transfer mission, the required heat transfer area of plate heat exchanger is smaller than that of shell and tube heat exchanger. The layout of shell and tube heat exchanger is excellent in terms of strength, but it is not ideal from the perspective of heat exchange. As the fluid moves in the shell side, there are baffles shell, baffles heat exchange tubes, and tubes shell bypasses. The fluid passing through these bypasses does not fully participate in heat transfer. In plate heat exchanger, there is no bypass, and the ripple of plate can make the fluid turbulent at a small flow rate. Therefore, the plate heat exchanger has a high heat transfer coefficient, which is usually 3~5 times that of the shell and tube heat exchanger.

Assembly and disassembly of plate heat exchanger

The newly purchased heat exchanger has been installed as a whole and can be installed as a whole. If it is not necessary, it shall not be disassembled. The removal and reinstallation of plate heat exchanger are very meticulous work, which should be carried out by experienced personnel according to certain rules to ensure good sealing and normal use after installation. Improper assembly, disassembly and installation will cause poor sealing and even plate deformation and damage, which is difficult to recover. Before dismantling the heat exchanger, the original thickness of the plate group shall be measured with a steel ruler at the upper, lower, left and right corners of the equipment and recorded. This thickness shall be restored as much as possible during re installation. If the number of plates is increased or decreased, the correct total thickness shall be calculated first. For example, with 80 BR50 plates, the nominal thickness is 80 × (3.8+0.6)=352mm The difference between the thickness after installation and compaction and the nominal value shall be less than 1%, and the thickness of the above example shall be 347~357mm. Plate heat exchanger is usually compressed into a whole with 6~12 bolts. During assembly and disassembly, these bolts shall be tightened or loosened evenly and evenly without uneven tightness. When removing the loosening bolt, loosen the middle bolt first and then the four corners. At the beginning, it should be 1~2 turns each time, more later, and repeated several times until it is completely released. During the relaxation process, the total thickness of the plate shall be measured at the four corners. The left and right deviations shall not exceed 10mm, and the upper and lower deviations shall not exceed 25mm.
