Wide Gap Heat Exchanger

 Applications:

  • High Fiber or Solid Content Fluid Application
  • High Viscosity Fluid Application

Temperature: 0 to 850 ℉ / Complex Applications
Pressure: ≤ 500 PSI / Most Applications
Surface Area: ≤ 10,000 ft2 / Most Applications
Gap Distance: ≤ 1 inch / Minimize Clogging, Easier
Mechanical Cleaning, Less Labor Hours
Plate Thickness: ≤ 2.0 mm / Most Applications

Wide Gap vs. Spiral Comparison

  • LS HX Complete Free Flow Channel (e.g. 1/2” to 1” gap), i.e. No Contact Points vs. Spiral Stud Pattern.
  • LS HX Accepts Wide Flow Rate Ranges (e.g. 2 to 5ft/s), i.e. No VFD Pumps, Controls, etc., Required.

Widegap explode

Dimple – Dimple pattern

The channel on one side is formed by spot-welded contact points between dimple corrugated plates. The cleaner medium runs in this channel. The channel on the opposite side is a wide gap channel formed between dimple corrugated plates with no contact points, the medium containing heavy solids or high viscous fluid runs in this channel.

Dimple – Flat pattern

The channel on one side is formed by spot-welded contact points that are connected between dimple corrugated plates and flat plates. The cleaner medium runs in this channel. The channel on the opposite side is formed between dimple corrugated plates and flat plates with wide gap and no contact points, the medium containing heavy solids or high viscous fluid runs in this channel.

Flat – Flat pattern

The channel on one side is formed between flat plate and flat plate that welded together with studs. The channel on the opposite side is formed between flat plates with wide gap and no contact points. Both channels are suitable for medium containing heavy solids, fiber or high viscous fluid.
