SPX FLOW offers a targeted and competitive HVAC-concept consisting of economic and efficient heat exchanger solutions. The heat exchangers are available in several different sizes matching all customer requirements.

Typical Applications Include:

  • Fee cooling
  • Heat recovery
  • Water source heat pump
  • Thermal Storage
  • Pressure Inceptor
  • District heating and cooling

Benefits of using APV Heat Exchangers:

  • Reduced operating and maintenance costs Compact size
  • Modular design facilitates installation in areas where space is limited
  • Flow rates up to 21,000 GPM (per single exchanger)
  • Design pressures to 450 PSIG
  • High-efficiency design for smaller heat exchangers with lower pressure drops
  • Computerized thermal rating optimizes plate types for maximum efficiency
  • Full ASME code compliance

Advantages of Plate vs. Tubular Heat Exchangers:

High heat transfer:

  • Film coefficients three-to-five times greater
  • Efficient operation with up to 95% heat recovery or regeneration
  • Low liquid hold-up enables faster reaction times to change in process
  • Fluids flow counter-current to each other between the parallel passages in each pass

Economical and compact:

  • Reduces floor space by up to 90%, weighs less and delivers higher performance
  • Lower hold-up volume minimizes the amount of product required for flooding, reduces usage of high-cost service fluids and improves thermal reaction time
  • Reduced capital costs and installation expenses
  • Saves you time and money on maintenance
  • High-energy recovery reduces energy costs

Cleanability:

  • Efficient design of heat transfer area reduces fouling caused by dirt and debris
  • Simplified cleaning and plate accessibility
  • Designed for use of effective CIP, removing of chemical films or scaling deposits

Accessibility:

  • Full access to both sides of the heat-transfer surface for inspection, maintenance, and cleaning
  • Access is readily accomplished within the installed space of the unit

Flexibility:

  • Modular design enables expansion of your heat exchanger as process requirements grow
  • Handles multiple duties and fluid streams in a single unit
  • Easily reconfigured to meet changing process needs
  • Wide variety of sizes and styles ensuring optimal solutions for your applications

APV Paraflow:

Gasket APV plate heat exchangers. SPX FLOW offers one of the widest ParaFlow plate portfolios in the market offering solutions for almost any HVAC application.

Benefits:

  • Competitive frame range prices
  • Compact design
  • Superior heat transfer efficiency
  • Easy to Clean
  • Glue-free gaskets
