Plate Type Heat Exchanger (PHE) Manufacturer in India

xflowheatexchangers

Product Overview

X-Flow Heat Exchangers is a leading plate type heat exchanger manufacturer in India, offering high-efficiency PHE solutions for a wide range of industrial heating, cooling, and heat recovery applications. Our plate heat exchangers are engineered to deliver maximum thermal performance within a compact footprint, making them the preferred choice for industries that demand energy efficiency and reliable continuous operation. X-Flow designs and manufactures Gasketed plate heat exchangers using premium-grade corrugated plates in SS 316L, Titanium, and other alloys, paired with high-quality elastomer gaskets. Whether your application is dairy processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, HVAC, chemical processing, or industrial cooling, X-Flow provides customized plate-and-frame solutions with the right plate count, channel configuration, and gasket material to achieve your specified heat duty and pressure drop with precision.

Key Features

  • High Thermal Efficiency: Corrugated plate design promotes turbulent flow at low Reynolds numbers, achieving more heat transfer in compact size.

  • Compact and Space-Saving Design: PHEs achieve the same heat transfer in up to 80% less floor space compared other heat exchangers — ideal for plants with space constraints.

  • Easy Expandability: Capacity can be increased by simply adding more plates to the existing frame without major modifications — providing future-proof scalability.

  • Easy Cleaning and Maintenance: Gasketed plate heat exchangers can be fully opened, cleaned manually, and reassembled quickly, minimizing plant downtime.

  • Close Temperature Approach: Achieves temperature approaches as low as 1°C, enabling maximum heat recovery and energy savings.

  • Wide Gasket Material Selection: NBR, EPDM, Viton (FKM), HNBR, and Neoprene gaskets available to handle diverse fluids.

  • Hygienic Design Option: SS 316L plates with EPDM food-grade gaskets for dairy, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications.

  • Counter-Current Flow: True counter-current flow arrangement maximizes LMTD and thermal driving force.
