How Plate Heat Exchanger Works

In this video, we use a 3D model to explain how the plate heat exchanger works and why it is so efficient.
The 3D model is animated so we can take it apart and view all the main components. We look at the plate stack, frame, gaskets and clamping bolts etc.
We mention the plate design and how it seals to separate the two flowing mediums.
The advantages and disadvantages of this type of heat exchanger are discussed and we compare some of these features to the shell and tube type heat exchanger.
The 3D model in the video can be found at saVRee.com or 3D-knowledge.com.

Disclaimer: I mentioned in the video that there are only two types of heat exchanger in the industrial world, this is not true, there are two COMMON types of heat exchanger used in the industrial world (plate type, and, shell and tube type). Sorry for the error.

3D-knowledge Hi, I am a Control Engineer working in HVAC industry. Can you please make a video for the Plate heat exchanger with bypass dampers which are used in the HVAC industry?

[@nafeesadib5940]

thanks a lot. you explained it very nicely. I was having trouble understanding how the fluid moves through the plates. now I get it.

[@ronnysharma6767]

Thank you! The 3D model is incredibly helpful. And your explanations are great.

[@tamarjassim]

Thanks for the video, Item no.4 is called the carrying bar and item no.3 is the guidning bar.

[@mag4657]

Excellent video clip on Plate Type Heat Exchanger's. Thanks Jon

[@3dknowledge]

Thank you. Keep a look out for some of the updated videos. Audio will be a lot better and I am doing a shell and tube heat exchanger.

[@AkkireddyRamaKrishna]

Thanks for sharing valuable info

[@vikramjitsingh4538]

Nicely explained......thank you

[@3dknowledge]

Thanks. Be sure to check the new channel (saVRee).

[@rahmaanali8959]

very well, explained

[@3dknowledge]

Thanks!

[@suryakarla8628]

Brilliant 👏

[@Ragavenutb]

Nice explanation, and there nothing more pain the ass than removing those plates and fitting new gaskets and putting it back together correctly and expecting no leaks or mixing.

[@Ozi.refrigeration]

Great video 👍

Is the heat exchange in a PHX conduction or convection

[@mrshawnworks7099]

Is there such a thing as a small size heat exchanger to try and capture the heat I am exhausting out of my grow area to my backyard in the winter? I know they have air-exchangers for homes but they have their own internal fans I believe. Do they have passive ones that work with exhaust fans? Thanks and i wish i can use it in my 4x4 marshydor tent .

[@tauhidalam2230]

Thanks you sir

[@souravkumar2522]

How I understand co current type PHE and counter current type PHE ???

[@3dknowledge]

Checkout the shell and tube video I made on the new channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ_WaoiEj76AoKs If that does not help, look in the video description and you will see a link to a heat exchanger course I made that is on udemy. It's only 9.99 if you click on the link. Don't forget to subscribe to the new channel! 😃

[@nikhilreddyyedla4647]

Well explained .....but how to get that information any link or website ??? I'm unable to get it Plz forward it

[@nikhilreddyyedla4647]

I want that information....can u plzz provide ?

[@gurusharankumbar1496]

How to calculate heating surface for PHE

[@3dknowledge]

You need proper information from the manufacturer. Also fluids, density and flow characteristics etc.

ดีมาก แต่อยากให้มีซับไทย

[@3dknowledge]

I love Thailand! But, it will be a while before I can get some Thai subs (sorry). I know its a bummer to watch stuff in English sometimes, so I will try and find a way to put all this stuff in more languages. Hindi, Spanish and French are high on my list, just have not figured out a way to translate stuff economically yet.

[@blahbeer28]

study a Petrochemical class Then come watch the video. It's not understandable. I'm not good at languages.
