Sondex Plate Heat Exchangers for the UK

Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers (GPHE):

 

Through technological innovation SONDEX has developed and designed a new generation of plate heat exchangers.
 
With its wide range of plate heat exchangers SONDEX has got the best technical solution for any possible task, with connection sizes from Ø15 - Ø500 mm covering a liquid flow of 50 l/hour - 2000 m3/hour.
 
The construction of the inlet part allows perfect distribution of the liquids across the heating surface. The inlet part is increased and supplied with grooves preventing "dead spots" which may cause the growth of bacteria in the plate heat exchanger. The inlet with grooves ensures a strong inlet part with a minimum of contact points.
 
Standard plate range includes industrial, hygienic, free-flow, and double wall 'SonderSafe'. DN25 to DN500 (UK stock models up to DN100).
 

 

Free Flow Plates:

 

Free Flow plates are designed for liquids containing fibres or other particles which may clog up a traditional plate heat exchanger. SONDEX Free Flow plates are designed without metal contact between the plates in the liquid area, giving a high turbulence and thus a high heat transmission coefficient and a long power time.
 

 

Double Wall 'Sonder Safe' Plates:

 

SONDEX Sonder Safe system consists of two thin flow plates stamped together. This allows possible leaks to be seen from outside between the two plates. This prevents a mixing of the products and warns about internal leaks.
 

 

Semi-Welded Plate Heat Exchangers (WPHE):

 

Semi welded plates are built up in plate cassettes.
A plate cassette is 2 plates welded together by laser welding. The advantage of this construction is a welded plate channel and a traditional plate channel with gaskets making assembling and cleaning of the traditional plate side easier. On the welded side there are two specially produced corner-hole gaskets creating the tightening between the two cassettes. The gasket is reduced to a minimum on the welded side.
 
Up to DN300 for refrigerant applications.
 

 

Sondex Plate & Shell Heat Exchangers (SPS):

 

This heat exchanger works in the same way as an ordinary tubular unit. However, it is more efficient because plates have been used instead of tubes. The plates are laser/TIG welded together to form a plate pack, which is then mounted inside a traditional cylindrical shell.
 
The heat exchanger is produced as an all welded exchanger or with flanges. This makes manual cleaning possible.
 
Pressure rating: PN16/PN25. Max temp.: Up to 2500 C.
 

 

Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers (BPHE):

 

The brazed plate heat exchanger does not contain rubber gaskets and can operate constantly at temperatures from minus 1800 C up to plus 200C.
The operating pressure can be as high as 30 bar.
 
Many sizes in UK stock.
 

 

Fresh Water Generators (FWG):

 

Sondex type SFD.
