Comparison of plate heat exchanger and shell and tube heat exchanger?

1.The plate-and-frame heat exchanger has higher heat recovery and transfers heat five times more efficiently than the shell-and-tube design, which has a low yield output. Fouling/Scaling: The plate-and-frame has corrugations and inherent turbulence that makes it less susceptible to fouling.

2.Plate heat exchangers are up to five times more efficient than shell-and-tube designs. In many cases, you can utilize more heat by replacing existing shell-and-tube models with compact plate and frame heat exchangers. The series of plates in a plate-and-frame heat exchanger creates gasketed spaces between plates.

3.After removing the compression studs of the plate heat exchanger, the plate bundle can be loosened, or the plates can be removed for mechanical cleaning, which is very convenient for the heat exchange process that requires frequent cleaning of the equipment.

4.Usually the plate thickness of the plate heat exchanger is only 0.5mm, while the thickness of the heat exchange tube of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is 2.0-2.5mm; in the case of completing the same heat exchange task,
