High-efficiency plate heat exchanger technology with relatively higher heat exchanging performance compared to a similar volume

 

Client / Market

  • Oil refineries, chemical plants, energy plants, sCO2 power generation-related companies

 

Necessity of this Technology

  • Existing shell & tube heat exchanger requires an increased number of paths, which
    increases the volume, to secure heat transfer area, and this ultimately requires a larger site–a low-efficiency issue.
  • Shell & tube heat exchanger technology already has been matured that foreign companies are dominating the market.
  • There is a need for a broader range of plate type heat exchangers under high temperature, high pressure, and corrosion environment.

 

Technical Differentiation

  • Equipped with brazing type, gasket type, and welding type plate heat exchanger technologies
  • Welding type plate heat exchanger is designed and produced to be used under higher temperature (up to 600℃) and higher pressure (up to 30 bar) compared to other plate heat exchangers.
  • Has energy saving effect in the industrial process, and reduction in operation and maintenance cost

 

Excellence of Technology

  • Equipped with the ability to analyze heat exchange based on inlet/outlet temperature
  • Able to analyze the pressure drop issue with the flow analysis
  • Flow distribution research ability and distribution fluid path design through visibility research
  • Equipped with design verification technology, system and testing facility through experiment
  • Designed and equipped with thermal and heat exchanging capacity calculation program

Current Intellectual Property Right Status
