Plate-a nd-Frame Excha ngers Plate-a nd-frame excha ngers are assemblies of pressed corrugated plates on a frame. Gaskets in grooves around the periphery contain the fluids and direct the flows into and out of the spaces betwee n the spac ing and the prese nce of the corrugati ons result in high coefficients on both sides several times those of shell-and - tube equipment and fouling factors are accessibility of the heat excha nge surface for clea ning makes them particularly suitable for fouling services and where a high degree of sanitation is required as in food and pharmaceutical pressures and temperatures are limited by the natures of the available gasketing materials with usual maximaof 300 psig and 400 F. Since plate-and-frame exchangers are made by comparatively few concerns most process desig n in formati on about them is proprietary but may be madeavailable to serious factors and heat transfer coefficients vary with the plate spac ing and the kinds of costs per unit of heat tran sfer are said to be lower tha n for shell-a nd-tube sta ini ess steel con struct ion the plate-a nd-frame con structi on cot is 50%-70%that of the shell-a nd-tube.
