This fully welded stainless steel plate heat exchanger provides robust performance in a compact footprint. Designed specifically for pharmaceutical and biotechnology operations, it features a completely gasket-free structural boundary. By laser-welding the corrugated plate pack, we eliminate elastomer gaskets, preventing compound degradation, chemical outgassing, and leakage under hot fluid profiles.
With a calculated 1.0 m² of active heat exchange area, the thin, corrugated AISI 316L plates generate high turbulence even at low flow velocities. This high turbulence maximizes heat transfer rates while actively minimizing biological film buildup and particulate fouling inside the fluid channels. Operating at a 30 kW thermal capacity with an inlet temperature threshold of 100 °C, this unit is designed to handle high-purity water-for-injection (WFI) heating and Clean-In-Place (CIP) sanitization cycles.
M.D Heat Exchanger integrates and configures premium plate packs to match your exact processing requirements. We verify the thermal calculations, velocity profiles, and pressure drops to ensure your equipment operates reliably, maintaining strict sanitation standards and minimizing utility down-times.
Every plate exchanger is modeled with specific thermodynamic profiles. Below are the key engineering specifications built into our Stainless Steel designs:
Corrugated AISI 316L plate profiles optimize flow distribution, generating self-cleaning turbulence that reduces bio-fouling risks.
Laser-welded plate packs eliminate elastomer gaskets completely, preventing any risk of chemical outgassing or gasket blowout at 100 °C.
Our robust design easily supports standard Clean-In-Place (CIP) fluid loops and steam sterilization cycles without seal degradation.
