Thermex Plate Heat Exchangers
Thermex – Plate Heat Exchangers that can change with your requirements.
Automatic Heating can offer plate heat exchangers using a combination of
locally manufactured and imported components resulting in competitive
pricing, short lead times and efficient after sales service.
HVAC ACCESSORIES
Each Thermex plate heat exchanger is selected using
state-of-the-art software to match the specific performance
requirements of individual applications. This sophisticated
selection and sizing process, using programs that represent
experience accumulated since 1940, and guarantees low
cost and efficient thermal performance.
Thermex plate heat exchangers incorporate an expandable
design. Thermal performance can be adjusted by simply
adding or removing or rearranging heat transfer plates. The
Thermex construction typically allows for the addition of
30% more heat transfer surface area without any changes
to the unit foot-print.
Thermex Construction
A Thermex plate heat exchanger consists of a number of
corrugated plates with gaskets placed in grooves along the
edge. The adjacent plates come into contact with each other
where the ridges meet. During assembly the channel plates
are pressed together in a frame to form a tight and efficient
heat exchanger.
The heat transfer performance is naturally dependant on
the size of the plate. The corrugated plate surface is shaped
into a herringbone pattern with the angles of the chevrons
determining the shape of the channels. By combining
different plate patterns in the same plate pack the optimum
solution for any heat transfer application can be found.
Every Thermex plate heat exchanger is tailor made to
meet the individual needs of the customer.
The type of unit required and number of plates are
determined by the customers specific duty requirements.
Plate materials available include stainless steel, nickel
alloys and titanium with support frames constructed from
steel or stainless steel. Thermex plate heat exchangers can
be supplied with various types of connections to facilitate
installation. Standard materials for gaskets are Nitrile
(NBR) or Ethylene propylene rubber (EDPM). Several other
materials are also available. Ask your Automatic Heating
representative for assistance when selecting a suitable
material for your application.
Thermex components have one of the best on-time shipping
records for complete assemblies and spare parts. Many
orders are despatched as fast as three working days, with
deliveries for more complex specifications often shipped in
less than three weeks.
