APV Plate Heat Exchangers provide controlled thermal transfer for process fluids requiring cooling, heating, condensing or evaporation. The portfolio is applicable across food and beverage, dairy, brewing, pharmaceutical and chemical operations, as well as production of convenience foods, oils, fats, sauces and mayonnaise. Plate heat exchanger technology provides a compact interface between process and service fluids while supporting efficient thermal transfer. The broad operating range allows equipment to be specified for both hygienic and industrial process duties.
Operational performance extends to flow capacities of 4,500 m³/h and maximum differential pressures of 25 bar, depending on the selected configuration. The specified temperature envelope extends from -35°C to +200°C. These capabilities allow APV units to cover a wide range of thermal duties rather than limiting the portfolio to a single process condition. Correct equipment selection should be based on required heat load, flow conditions, temperatures, pressure and process-fluid properties.
Construction can be specified in AISI 316L, AISI 304 stainless steel, 254 SMO, Hastelloy C-276 or Titanium Grade 1. This material range provides options for matching the heat-transfer surface to process chemistry and operating conditions. Available sealing materials include EPDM, HNBR, NBR, FKM, EPDM HT (Paratemp2) and Paramine. APV heat transfer solutions are also constructed to address process requirements for cleanability, accessibility and product integrity.
Selection and replacement require verification of more than nominal connection or capacity requirements. Plate material, gasket compound, operating temperature, differential pressure, process flow and required thermal performance all influence the correct configuration. AxFlow supplies APV plate heat exchangers and supports selection from the available portfolio, allowing the unit to be specified against the actual process duty. This approach also helps avoid unnecessary lifecycle cost caused by incorrect materials or equipment sizing.
