Type Selection and Calculation: The selection of plate heat exchangers needs to consider multiple factors comprehensively, such as the properties, flow rates, temperatures, and pressures of the heat exchange media. When selecting the type, it is necessary to determine the appropriate plate type, flow path, and flow channel according to the actual working conditions, and conduct pressure drop verification to ensure the performance and operation effect of the equipment. Generally, professional selection software can be used for calculation, and relevant manual calculation methods and formulas can also be referred to.

Material Selection: The materials of plates and gaskets directly affect the service life and performance of plate heat exchangers. Materials that are corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant should be selected according to the physical and chemical properties of the media. Common plate materials include stainless steel, titanium alloy, etc., and gasket materials include rubber, asbestos fiber, etc. Different materials are suitable for different working conditions.

Installation and Maintenance: Correct installation and regular maintenance are the keys to ensuring the normal operation of plate heat exchangers. During installation, it is necessary to operate strictly in accordance with the equipment manual to ensure that the equipment is installed firmly and the pipeline connections are tight. During the use process, the equipment should be inspected, cleaned, and maintained regularly to detect and deal with existing problems of the equipment in time and extend the service life of the equipment.
