Benefits of using APV Heat Exchangers:
- Wide selection of gasket and plate materials to stand up to aggressive process fluids
- Ease of cleaning & inspection
- Welded & weld-free plate pairs available
- Limited use of gaskets by design reduces chance of leakage
- Flexible configurations can be adapted to meet your changing process needs
- Compact Design -- Maintenance area requires far less space to remove plates, than a shell & tube needs for tube bundle removal
- Achieves up to 97% heat recovery
- Efficient operation
- High thermal efficiency saves money through reduction in required heat transfer area
- Low liquid hold-up improves start-up time and reduces operating fluid costs
- Eliminates complicated maintenance such as x-ray, ultrasonic and other non-destructive test procedures
- Corrosion resistant materials reduces inspection and maintenance while ensuring reliable operation
- Life cycle cost reduction
- No moving parts eliminates vibration & reduces maintenance
- Reduced fouling leads to higher thermal efficiency, reducing maintenance and operating costs
