How to Select a Plate Heat Exchanger for Catalytic Applications?
Selecting the appropriate PHE involves considering several factors:
1. Temperature and Pressure Requirements: Ensure the PHE can handle the specific temperature and pressure conditions of your catalytic process. 2. Material Compatibility: Choose materials that are resistant to the reactants and products involved in the process to avoid corrosion or contamination. 3. Flow Rate and Viscosity: The design must accommodate the flow rates and viscosities of the fluids to ensure efficient heat transfer.
