Embossed Plate Heat Exchangers

Applications

Stainless steel embossed plate heat exchangers are widely used in industries such as food and beverage processing, HVAC, refrigeration, pharmaceutical production, and industrial cooling. Their compact design and high thermal efficiency make them ideal for applications requiring precise temperature control, hygienic conditions, or handling of corrosive fluids, such as pasteurization, cooling of viscous liquids, and pharmaceutical processing.

Sizes & Materials

Our embossed plate heat exchangers are constructed from high-quality 316L stainless steel, with options for titanium to handle aggressive fluids like acidic solutions or seawater. Available in sizes ranging from compact units for commercial applications to larger industrial models, they operate at pressures up to 450 psi and temperatures from -20°F to 400°F, with gasket or brazed options tailored to specific fluid compatibilities.

Performance and Design

The embossed plate design features stainless steel plates with patterned surfaces that create turbulent flow, enhancing heat transfer efficiency and allowing close temperature approaches. Available in gasketed or brazed configurations, these exchangers offer flexibility for maintenance or sealed, leak-proof operation. The stainless steel construction ensures durability and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for hygienic and industrial applications.

Complementary Solutions

While embossed plate heat exchangers excel in compact, high-efficiency applications, we also offer brazed plate, plate and frame, shell and tube, and tube-in-tube designs for specialized needs, such as high-pressure environments or large-scale systems. Our stainless steel embossed plate models are the preferred choice for industries requiring efficient, corrosion-resistant heat transfer in smaller footprints.

Common FAQs
