RE: plate heatexhanger spreadsheet

Carf,

This is not really my area of expertise, but I can probably explain why you haven't gotten a response to your question.

The actual configurations of the plates in plate exchangers are proprietary to each manufacturer.  However, there are some close similarities between plates from some manufacturers (sometimes including interchangeablility).

Each manufacturer has a whole range of plates in various combinations of height, width, and port (connection) sizes.  To further complicate the situation, they usually have plates of various "hardness" patterns within each size.  And, the plates can sometime be mixed within an exchanger producing in-between results.  The term "hardness" refers to the way the chevron patterns are formed into the plates.  Generally, the more horizontal the chevrons are, the higher the pressure drop, and consequently, the heat transfer coefficient.

However, some manufacturers have programs for thier own plates which are made available to their customers.  You might try contacting them to ask for a copy, but it probably won't be in a spreadsheet form.

Regards,

speco
