How should the thickness of the heat exchange surface material in a plate heat exchanger be selected?
Thread Content
The thickness of the heat exchange surface material in one plate heat exchanger imported in the 1970s is 2.5 mm, while that in another plate heat exchanger produced in Tianjin in the 1990s is 1.25 mm. Why is there such a big difference?
It’s hard to say; it depends on factors such as the material, operating conditions, and the structural dimensions of the heat exchanger.
The friend on the 2nd floor is right; there are indeed many factors at play. As a supplementary point, it is also related to factors such as material processing and equipment manufacturing capabilities.
Are it the same working conditions (pressure, temperature, medium, etc.), materials, and structure? :kiss:
Differences in material, pressure resistance, and structure!
