A Welded Plate Heat Exchangers offers the high thermal efficiency of plate technology in a robust, fully-welded design, eliminating the need for gaskets. This makes them the ideal solution for high-pressure, high-temperature, and aggressive fluid applications where reliability is critical and downtime is not an option. Their compact footprint and superior heat transfer make them a powerful alternative to traditional Shell & Tube exchangers.
Fully Welded Construction: Provides exceptional mechanical strength and pressure resistance, ensuring reliability in the harshest operating environments.
Wide Application Range: Custom-made from a modular concept suitable for single-phase, condensation, vacuum condensation, and partial phase change duties for chemical processes and more.
A Welded Plate Heat Exchanger consists of a pack of thin, corrugated metal plates that are laser or plasma welded together at the edges to form a secure, gasket-free plate pack. Portholes allow the two process fluids to flow through alternate channels, creating a counter-current flow that drives highly efficient heat transfer between them. This robust, sealed design contains the fluids safely even under extreme pressure and temperature.

A welded PHE is used in applications with pressures, temperatures, or aggressive fluids that would cause a standard gasket to fail. It offers superior containment and strength but is less serviceable than a gasketed unit.
They are common in demanding industries like Oil & Gas, chemical processing, power generation, and specialised refrigeration, where operational conditions are extreme.
Yes they can be opened to and extent. While they cannot be opened like a gasketed unit, our specialists perform advanced on-site and workshop cleaning with a needle lancer and testing services to maintain their performance and integrity.
To provide an accurate proposal, we need to understand your process, including fluid types, temperatures, flow rates, and pressure requirements. Any available P&IDs or drawings are also helpful.
