Plate and Shell

Vahterus Plate & Shell Heat Exchangers
These have many benefits for refrigeration applications such as evaporators, condensers, cascade heat exchangers, desuperheaters and oil coolers.

PSHE’s are effective, durable and versatile due to their unique shell construction, together with fully welded plates. This makes PSHE’s ideal, having compact sizes and requiring low refrigerant charges.

Vahterus heat exchangers are suitable for all refrigerants, especially natural media such as ammonia and carbon dioxide.

Condensers
The construction of Vahterus PSHE’s is ideal for condensing applications. Key benefits include high thermal efficiency, small/reduced refrigerant charge and low pressure drop. Suitable for all refrigerants over a wide temperature and capacity range
Capacity range: 5-10,000kW
Compact size and refrigerant charge
High heat transfer
Low pressure drop
Many materials available
Easy to install and insulate

Evaporators
The versatility of Vahterus PSHE’s is demonstrated particularly in evaporator applications. PHSE can be used as highly efficient flooded or direct expansion evaporators, due to low pressure drop and high heat transfer. Fully welded circular plates and a protective outer shell, guarantees safety for the end user. This construction also ensures high integrity and durability.
