PF Heat exchanger is shown in drawing. Engineering field exchanger using to cool the line. In Petrochemicl plant what does this mean by P F?
Plate and Frame Heat Exchanger . -Plate Heat Exchangers (also referred to as Plate and Frame Heat Exchangers) are an alternate type of heat exchanger system. These systems are commonly used in the same type of applications, but find popularity in lower temperature and lower pressure service. Plate Heat Exchangers generally provide higher thermal rate efficiencies than shell and tube heat exchangers. Catalytic Products International has developed several plate envelope patterns, all designed to maximize your specific application. (In recent years, plate-type heat exchangers have emerged as a viable alternative to shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The plate-type heat exchanger, with its ability to optimize thermal performance, has made close approach and temperature cross applications economically feasible where they are not economical or practical with shell-and-tube designs. These new applications include waterside economizers, pressure interceptors (to reduce the static head in tall buildings), and heating using geothermal water as a low temperature heat source. )
sorry, my first guess was wrong ;) 10 points for the guy below ;)
