Applications

Plate heat exchangers are used in numerous fields of use. Choose your application - Platecore supplies the right design and the suitable material, engineered for the medium, output and operating conditions of your system.

Fields of use

Fields of use in brief

Heating & district heating

The plate heat exchanger separates the primary and secondary circuits, for example in substations and heating networks. The matching design is gasketed: it can be opened, cleaned and resized later.

Industrial oil cooler

For hydraulic, gear and lube oil, the plate heat exchanger removes the waste heat from the oil circuit. The gasketed design with oil-resistant gaskets can still be opened and cleaned.

Oil & gas

Oil and gas duties combine high pressures and temperatures with media that not every gasket tolerates. That is why this application uses the fully welded design: gasket-free, pressure-resistant and compact.

Chemical industry

For acids, alkalis and solvents, the fully welded design is the match. Without gaskets, the plate material alone determines chemical resistance.

Domestic hot water

The double wall design separates the heating and potable water circuits with two plates per surface. If a plate leaks, the water escapes visibly to the outside instead of mixing with the drinking water.

Food & pharmaceutical

The double wall design rules out mixing of product and heat transfer fluid by design. A leak shows from the outside without opening the unit.

CHP units

On a CHP unit, the plate heat exchanger puts the engine's waste heat from the cooling water to use in the heating circuit without connecting the two circuits hydraulically. The matching design is gasketed.
