The medium signs can be found at the connections; they denote the entry and exit of the mediums. Figure 3: Medium sign 4.1.2.2 Screw locking varnish Screw locking varnish can be found on two of the tensioning screws on the frame cover (Figure 4). The varnish primarily serves to ensure that the tensioning screws are sealed at delivery. -
Page 15: Frames
Frames The plate heat exchanger is available in conjunction with various frame designs. Along with the maintenance-friendly and optimised K and N frame models, a frame type featuring a very low design height (model T) is also available. Apparatus types TL 50/TL 90/TL 150 (which have a low number of heat exchanger plates) are also produced, along with a frame type that does not have a rear-side support (model Special variants of stainless steel are used in all processes pertaining to the cooling and heating operations associated with the food and beverage sector. -
Page 16: Function
Function The PHE consists of shaped heat exchanger plates featuring installed gaskets, which are clamped together (such that they remain detachable) between a stationary and moving pressure plate with the help of tensioning screws, and which are arranged between the upper and lower support rods. Plates featuring gaskets and welded modules featuring various stampings are available for the most diverse application areas. -
