The plates are specially selected from various patterns so as to achieve optimum area and cost effective heat exchanger for each 1. Versatile gasket
unit. These plates can be classified into three patterns, namely.
Plate Heat Exchanger is used in almost all process industries, as

●Special Hisaka (S-1) glue shall be applied for bonding

1. Herringbone pattern
The herringbone design in LX series has corrugations with pitch which is rough and deep. In SX series, the pitch is fine and shal-
low, hence LX series are used in application where low NTU is required, and SX series are best suited for high NTU application.
UX/RX-type is in between LX type and SX type.

These plate gaskets do not need adhesive. The slit in gasket is es-
pecially recommended for those applications where frequent re-
placement of the gasket is required. Further, without the adhesives,
adhesive odor is reduced. This slit in type gasket is suitable for Food
application.
NTU of 1.5 and less is generally referred to as low NTU, and 3.0 and above is considered as high NTU

3. PTFE cushion gasket (TCG)

Through our own development, HISAKA has pioneered PTFE cush-
ion gaskets for the Plate Heat Exchanger. It is normally used in ap-
plications where conventional synthetic rubber would have
limitations due to the corrosiveness of the fluid being handled. With
this new development, the Plate Heat Exchangers can be applied in
much wider field than before due to the chemical resistance and the
durability of PTFE.

mediate thermal characteristics can be achieved. organic solvent.
2. Due to the elastic core of the TCG gasket, it does not require
strong tightening torque during the assembly of the unit. Thus reducing the
risks of plate deformation due to over tightening.
3. TCG gasket can be used for one side only, if the non-corrosive
fluid is running in the other side where conventional gasket can be used.

 JUMBO PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER
Advantages by using HISAKA Jumbo Plate Heat Exchanger HISAKA Jumbo Plate Heat Exchanger Series

Mega plants and complex, required for total higher optimization, have been internationally planning and constructing.
A great number of large size Plate Heat Exchangers are applied for the effective Central Cooling System (CCS) to facilitate those
energy consumption and efficiency.
UX-100/UX-130
500mm (20”) diameter plate porthole and connection can accept the max. 5000m3/h flow rate. Particularly, its unique plate pattern
is allowed to use seawater sufficiently and make high thermal and pressure-resistance, therefore it is most suitable for the largest
size of Central Cooling System.

Comparison in the size of Plate Heat Exchangers

Both Tubular and Plate Heat Exchangers are available for CCS, but Plate Heat Exchanger brings much more advantages. RX-90
HISAKA Jumbo Plate Heat Exchanger has more benefits than other conventional large size plate heat exchanger ;
The height is designed as per the particular restriction in the buildings (for HVAC) and/or in the maritime shipments (for Central

Cooler or LO Cooler). Also, max. 3200m3/h flow rate can be handled by 400mm (16”) diameter plate porthole and connection.
● Less heat transfer area by more pressure drop available for heat transfer.

These major benefits assist less installation space and works, maintenance works and initial cost saving for the equip-
ment itself as well as piping, pumps, valves and instruments.
UX-90
Max. 2000m3/h flow rate is possible to pass through by 350mm (14”) diameter plate porthole and connection. It has the same de-
sign concept as UX-100/UX-130 and it is most suitable for the largest size of Central Cooling System as well as the wide range of
applications such as heater, cooler, heat recovery etc.

SX-90
350mm (14”) diameter plate porthole and connection can help to handle the max. 2000m3/h flow rate. Plate design has very fine
pitch to meet high pressure-resistance and high thermal length (high heat recovery) for HVAC or heat recovery of process liquids.

1. Heat transfer coefficient is about 2 times as high as that of
shell & tube heat exchanger. The condensing surface is al-
ways secured and the heat transfer coefficient is improved
because condensate is immediately drained out.

2. To achieve muchless vapor pressure drop than the con-

ventional plate type, special consideration is taken in com-
bination of the vapor side plates and the cooling water side
plates.

3. Cooling water consumption is about half for shell & tube

heat exchanger.

4. The use of TCG gasket on the vapor and cooling media ex-
pands the application to wide field.

5. Easy cleaning and inspection of plates.

6. Easy change of the condensing capacity by increasing or

reducing the number of plates.
