Plate & Shell Exchanger
SONDEX® by danfoss plate and shell heat exchangers (SPS) combine the strengths of both shell and tube heat exchangers and plate heat exchangers, retaining the high working pressure and temperatures of the former coupled with the high efficiency of the latter.
A “best of both worlds” solution, our plate and shell heat exchangers provide unmatched performance for a wide range of applications, particularly vapor condensation duties.
DWP032 plate and shell heat exchanger
Very adaptable heat exchanger. An excellent choice for handling condensation duties, especially duties without condensate sub-cooling. They are also perfect steam heaters of clean fluids, demineralized water, and clean thermal oils.
The heat exchanger is designed to be highly resistant to thermal shocks as well as thermal and pressure fatigue making it very well-suited for cyclic duties and other duties with sudden, large fluctuations in temperature.
Available in both bolted and fully welded designs. The fully welded types can handle higher temperatures and pressure levels than the bolted types, but cannot be opened for cleaning. This can instead be done with CIP (Cleaning in Place) systems.
- Small space requirement (only 30% of a traditional tubular heat exchanger)
- No gaskets
- Safe operation without leaking
- High working pressure
- Small liquid volume
- Laser welded plates
