Heat Exchanger Plate
A Heat Exchanger Plate is the core component of Plate Heat Exchangers (PHEs), facilitating efficient heat transfer between two fluids. These plates are designed with corrugated surfaces to enhance turbulent flow, maximizing thermal exchange while minimizing pressure drop.
At Rahavard Saei, we specialize in manufacturing and supplying high-performance heat exchanger plates using stainless steel, titanium, nickel alloys, and other corrosion-resistant materials. Our plates are engineered to API 662 and ASME Sec VIII standards, ensuring superior durability, efficiency, and compatibility with leading heat exchanger brands, including Alfa Laval, GEA, APV, API Schmidt, Sondex, and more.

How It Works
A Plate Heat Exchanger consists of multiple thin, corrugated metal plates, which are precisely arranged to create separate fluid flow paths for hot and cold fluids. The heat exchanger plates play a critical role in enhancing efficiency by increasing surface area and creating turbulent fluid flow to improve heat transfer rates.
Key Components & Functions
- Heat Transfer Plates – Engineered with optimized surface geometry to maximize thermal exchange.
- Connection Plate – Provides structural support and fluid connection ports.
- Support Plate – Ensures alignment and stability of the plate pack within the heat exchanger.
- Flow Distributors – Direct the fluid through designated flow channels, preventing dead zones and improving efficiency.
During operation, hot and cold fluids flow alternately between the plates, transferring heat across the thin metal surface while remaining completely separated by gaskets or welded seals. The corrugated design enhances turbulence, which improves thermal efficiency and reduces fouling buildup, ensuring long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
