Make by SRP Germany Factory

In addition to the combination of merits of Plate Heat Exchangers: small footprint, extremely high heat transfer efficiency, and scales prevention by reverse flow; and merits of Shell and tube Heat Exchangers: high-pressure and high-temperature resistance; Shell & Plate Heat Exchanger is a new model that also features higher safety and stability altogether.

  

   

Taiwan SRP Shell & Plate Heat Exchangers - Introduction

In the past, Plate & Gasket type and Shell & Tube type were the majority in the heat exchanger industry. The Plate & Gasket type features high heat transfer efficiency, a small footprint, easy operation, easy hoisting, and easy maintenance; however, the internal gasket is prone to corrosion as time goes by and does not withstand high-temperatures; therefore, leakage incidents are prone to occur. 
For the sake of heat transfer effect, plates are usually designed thin; even with thickened plates, they are generally unable to withstand high-pressure environments exceeding 40 Bar.

Although the relatively stable Shell & Tube type may be used in high-temperature and high-pressure work conditions, their footprint is large; they are also difficult to hoist, install, maintain and clean; the weight is high and the heat transfer efficiency is low; they are prone to clog in conditions of specific liquids; plus their price is high and delivery time is long.

Taiwan SRP Inc. has introduced Shell & Plate Heat Exchangers with the combination of merits of the above two types. This new type Heat Exchange features high heat transfer efficiency and high-temperature/pressure resistance, has no internal gasket, and operates steadily; easy to maintain, it provides the opportunity for the customers to opt for new generation heat exchangers.

Applicable to zoned heat supply/refrigeration system, heat ventilation/air-con, power generation/energy storage, bio-fuel and renewable resources, petrochemical industry, oil refinery, natural gas & LNG, waste heat recovery, general steam heating, etc.

Customer Benefits through the use of SRP Shell and Plate Heat Exchangers

  • Small device footprint; only 30% compared to traditional shell & tube heat exchangers, saving space for other uses.
  • Excellent heat exchange efficiency; one unit replaces multiple traditional ones for thorough heat recovery.
  • Lightweight; easy to hoist and install.
  • Easy maintenance; Using no gaskets saves costs for the consumables and scheduled maintenance.
  • Strong resistance against corrosion; less prone to damage; high availability.
  • Competitive costs in production and maintenance.
  • Swift maintenance force and after sales service.

Heat exchangers are frequently seen facilities in industries; the most popular models are plate type and shell & plate type. Plate type ones are known for excellent heat transfer efficiency, but using the consumable gasket as fluid segmentation makes them limited by certain work environments having extremely high temperatures or pressures, such as for the storage and transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Also, gaskets have a limited service lifespan and require periodical maintenance for replacing consumables, where the heat exchanger has to be opened up. The user unit also needs to set up a budget and schedule for subsequent maintenance.

The Shell & Tube type contains no gaskets and is relatively stable, but it is voluminous and requires a large floor area; hoisting and maintenance are uneasy. If used for particular work conditions with special materials, the installation cost is very high; the initial investment will be costly.

The invention of Shell & Plate Heat Exchanger takes and improves advantages of these two; the new type is capable of withstanding high pressure and requires no gaskets while offering high heat transfer efficiency. Plus, with easy maintenance and high equipment availability, it also benefits for a small floor area requirement and less environmental limitations. Having affordable operation costs and a combination of advantages of all the other types, the Shell & Plate Heat Exchanger offers brand new solutions to customers with high-end work conditions.

SPR Shell & Plate Heat Exchangers – Customer success stories and case studies

Shell & Plate Heat Exchanger used in radiators of Chemical Factories, Taiwan

Issues

The Dimethylformamide Process of a customer factory requires cooling, but the process is toxic and unstable.
If a plate type heat exchanger is used, gaskets will age and cause leakage of hazardous liquid into the atmosphere; and the site is limited in space and hoisting is difficult. If Shell & Tube type is opted, the body is too big, also hard to clean.

Application Solution

Customer adopts SRP Shell & Plate Heat Exchanger. The primary side is Dimethylformamide in the liquid phase; the secondary side is water.
In case the liquid leaks, the external side shell design provides protection, preventing hazardous liquid from getting into the atmosphere and causing an incident.

Material: SS304 stainless steel
Total amount of Heat Exchange: 28.16KW
Primary side temperature 20℃-15℃, secondary side temperature 9℃-11.5℃.
