i assumed some parameters - plate length, width, thickness and spacing between plates. Computing the number of plates needed, i got 8. i don't think that is an acceptable answer since most of the pastuerizers i saw in the internet have more than 20 plates. i was also able to calculate the pressure drop - 6 kPa. I'm not sure if that is an accepatable pressure. 1. Is the pressure drop the same as operating pressure? 2. How can i optimize the design? Determine the dimensions of the plate that gives the least pressure drop?3. What are the parameters that i need to specify to pasteurizer manufacturers? Operating temperature and pressure? The liquid to be heated?
Plate warmth exchangers are a particularly somewhat expert technologies and the variety of counsel you like isn't available in any however the main elementary types. have you ever tried a internet seek for plate warmth exchangers and plate and physique warmth exchangers. There are quite a few manufacturers available?
