Free Flow heat exchanger has several advantages that make it possible to use them where you cannot install any other type of plate devices. Indeed, due to the geometry of plates, such heat exchangers may be used with highly viscous fluids, without the risk of stagnation, as well as with fluids that form large mechanical deposits, or where these deposits were initially. At the same time, all advantages of the gasketed devices are preserved in these devices.
They may still be disassembled for mechanical cleaning, increase capacity by adding plates, each element remains replaceable.
What’s the main, the efficiency of gasketed heat exchangers is maintained. This means that by overall dimensions and weight, the wide-gap heat exchanger will be much smaller than the tubular or spiral one at any particular position.
