Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchangers
In many industrial processes, the transfer of thermal energy is crucial. In order to achieve this, heat exchangers are often used, which are pieces of equipment designed to transfer heat between two fluids without letting them mix. Within the family of heat exchangers, the Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchanger (WGHE) stands out for its ability to transfer heat in fluids with a high degree of fouling, making it an ideal tool for many industrial processes. In this article, we will delve into the various applications of the Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchanger, exploring how it is used in diverse industries around the world.

Food and Beverage Industry
In the food and beverage industry, the Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchanger plays a vital role. Within this industry, WGHEs are used to create and maintain a specific temperature for various process fluids, including juices, dairy products, and sauces. In addition, the WGHE is often used for pasteurization, sterilization, and the continuous cooling of soups and sauces.
For example, in the production of soup, the Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchanger can be used for the cooling of soup stock between various stages in the production process. In this way, it is possible to keep the consistency, color and flavor of the soup constant, while also avoiding unnecessary downtime.

Chemical and Petrochemical Industry
Another significant application of the Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchanger is within the chemical and petrochemical industry. Here, WGHEs are used in a variety of applications, including the heating of viscous fluids, cooling of hot wastewater streams, and the evaporation of solvents.One particular use for WGHEs in the chemical and petrochemical industry is in the processing of viscous fluids, like crude oil. In these processes, WGHEs are used to heat the crude oil to a proper temperature, which is then sent through distillation columns to separate components. in addition, petrochemical companies also use WGHEs to cool the hot wastewater streams coming out of the production process, making it possible to reuse water and reduce overall water usage.

Pharmaceutical Industry
Within the pharmaceutical industry, the maintenance of sterile processes is critical to ensure that the products meet the highest safety and quality standards. This is where Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchangers come in, as they are used for sterilization and pasteurization. In the pharmaceutical industry, WGHEs are used to heat a sterilizing agent, which is then introduced to the medical products, such as syringes, vials, or ampoules. This ensures that the products are sealed and bacteria-free, making them safe for human use.Waste Heat RecoveryIn many industrial facilities, a significant amount of energy is lost in the form of waste heat. The Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchanger provides one of the most efficient ways to recover this heat for reuse in other processes.For example, in the cement industry, hot gases from the cement kilns are often used to dry the raw material before it is fed into the kiln. By installing Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchangers on the hot gas exhaust ducts, the heat can be recovered from the exhaust gases and used for other purposes, such as generating electricity.

Oil and Gas Industry
Another significant application of the Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchanger is within the oil and gas industry. Here, WGHEs are used to transfer heat between chemicals, water and oil. For example, offshore drilling platforms use WGHEs to regulate the temperature of production chemicals that are pumped down into the well to prevent it from freezing.ConclusionWide Gap Plate Heat Exchangers are versatile tools that can be used in a wide range of industrial processes. Whether it is for heating or cooling, sterilization or waste heat recovery, it is clear that the Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchanger is a valuable tool for engineers and operators in a variety of industries. By providing highly efficient heat transfer even in fluids with a high degree of fouling, the Wide Gap Plate Heat Exchanger contributes to increasing efficiency, reducing waste and overall energy consumption, and improving product quality.

AIR-WAVE Air Cooler

How does air cooler work?
The thermal transfer is also through corrugated plate by air/gas via water or cooling liquid agent, the flow could be counter flow or concurrent flow depending on duties. Generally high temperature air or gas is passing from Air distributor and Air chamber to surface of transfer plates by hot channels, meanwhile, the cooling water is passing from other side either by cold water channels, the thermal transferring happened through “AIR-WAVE” plates.

How many types of air cooler in common application?
SHINEHEAT can offer two different solutions for air cooler, the main different part is transfer plates, the one is by Welded Pillow Plates, and another is by Corrugated “AIR-WAVE” Plates.
