Product Details
1. What It Is & What It Does
AESIMA Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers use stacked metal plates with wavy corrugations and rubber gaskets to transfer heat between two fluids flowing in alternate channels. The wavy plate design creates turbulence, enabling high heat transfer rates in a compact footprint. Unlike welded designs, gaskets are replaceable, allowing you to add or remove plates to adjust capacity.
What it does: Two fluids flow through alternating channels formed by corrugated plates. The wavy pattern creates intense
turbulence, dramatically improving heat transfer efficiency compared to smooth surfaces.
Typical uses: HVAC systems, food & beverage processing, district heating networks, swimming pool heating, industrial coolingloops, compressed air aftercoolers.
Key specifications: pressures up to 30 bar, temperatures -40°C to +200°C, with plate configurations from10-500+ plates.

OEM Service Workflow
For Standard Services (clean water, light oils) → Standard Gasketed Design — Lowest cost, nitrile gaskets, 10-100 plates typical.Easy capacity expansion.
For Corrosive or Aggressive Fluids — Specify stainless steel plates (304/316), specialty gaskets (EPDM, fluoroelastomer), or even titanium plates for seawater cooling.
For High-Fouling Services — Wider plate spacing (low density) for easier cleaning. Larger plate selection (bigger channels) accommodates particles or sludge without blockage.
For Capacity Scaling — Design with modularity in mind: install 50% of required plates now, add more when demand grows. No replacement needed.
Gasket Material Selection: Nitrile (most common, -40°C to +80°C), EPDM (higher temperature to +120°C), Fluoroelastomer (aggressive chemicals to +150°C).
