Why are Plate Heat Exchangers Preferred in Catalytic Processes?
The preference for plate heat exchangers in catalytic processes stems from several attributes:
1. High Heat Transfer Efficiency: The large surface area and turbulent flow in PHEs lead to superior heat transfer rates, essential for maintaining reaction temperatures. 2. Compact Design: Their compact size enables them to fit into systems where space is a constraint. 3. Flexibility: PHEs are easily adjustable to different process conditions, making them versatile for various catalytic reactions.
