Plate heat exchanger
Armstrong’s gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) product line includes more than 20 different models and offers numerous configurations, connections and material options, providing a superior heat transfer solution for any HVAC application.
Energy Efficiency
The Armstrong PHE Series achieves the highest efficiency and heat transfer rates by flowing the two media in opposite directions (counter-current) in a highly turbulent fashion. The temperature gain or loss between the hot fluid and the cold fluid at a given flow rate is the regeneration rate. With counter-current flows, high turbulence and optimized corrugation, Armstrong Series PHE units provide regeneration rates of up to 90%.
% Regeneration = ( Tin [hot fluid] - Tout [hot fluid] ) / ( Tin [hot fluid] - Tin [cold fluid] ) x 100
The X Series plates are specifically designed to produce the highest heat transfer efficiencies.
Armstrong PHE Series heat exchangers offer multiple plate geometries to provide the optimum heat transfer solution for a given application.
