APV Paraflow Plate Heat Exchangers
For Power Industry Applications

Efficient, Compact
and Cost Effective

APV plate heat exchangers offer the
most cost-effective solutions for heat
transfer applications in the power
industry that historically were served
by shell and tube technology. Plate
heat exchangers play an increasingly
important role in helping power
producers meet stringent water
environmental and energy conservation
regulations. Whether you are recovering
waste heat or isolating the cooling
system from the cooling source, APV
has the application knowledge and
products to improve your efficiency
and performance. Advances in PHE
technology have helped it supplant the
shell and tube as the technology of
choice in this demanding industry.

Powerful Benefits

• rotects equipment from damage
P
caused by contaminants

Efficiency
• 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
• Achieves up to 97% heat recovery

Maintenance
• Eliminates complicated maintenance

such as x-ray, ultrasonic and other
non-destructive test procedures
• 100% corrosion resistant material

reduces inspection and maintenance
while ensuring reliable operation
• No moving parts minimizes vibration,

ensures reliable operation and reduces
maintenance

Cost

• Highly efficient heat recovery

• Lower capital costs when compared to

traditional shell and tube

• Flow rates up to 20,000 GPM

• Efficient design reduces weight

• implifies maintenance, saving time
S
and money

• Life cycle cost reduction

• odular design facilitates flexibility for
M
reconfiguration
• Compact design saves space

• Reduced fouling leads to higher

thermal efficiency, and minimizes
maintenance and operating costs
• Lower fluid velocity maximizes plate life

and reduces maintenance
