Yes, but particle conditions must be limited. Plate-and-shell heat exchangers have relatively narrow plate spacing; particle size in the medium is generally recommended not to exceed 1 mm, with a volume content not exceeding 0.5%. If particle hardness is high or particle size exceeds the range, inter-plate channels may become blocked or the sealing gasket may be eroded. Before selection, confirm a filtration solution with the supplier or adopt a widened-channel structure.
Gasket material directly affects sealing life and media compatibility. Nitrile gaskets are suitable for oil and water conditions below 80°C; EPDM gaskets are suitable for hot water and steam conditions below 120°C and have good aging resistance; fluororubber gaskets can be used for weakly corrosive media below 180°C. During procurement, verify the correspondence between medium temperature, chemical properties, and gasket material to avoid leakage caused by improper gasket selection.
Procurement personnel should confirm medium corrosiveness, allowable pressure drop, and installation space, and check with the supplier whether the plate material and sealing form match the actual operating conditions. The BRQ-110 plate-and-shell heat exchanger has a design pressure of 2.5 MPa, a design temperature of -20°C to 200°C, a single-plate heat transfer area of 0.11 m², and a nominal diameter of DN110. Plate materials can be 304/316L stainless steel or titanium, and connection types support flanged or threaded connections. Provide basic parameters such as medium name, flow rates on both sides, inlet and outlet temperatures, and allowable pressure drop to facilitate selection calculations.
This model is suitable for HVAC water systems, process cooling in the light industry, secondary-side heat exchange in central heating, and general industrial wastewater heat recovery, among other conditions. For media containing a small amount of particles, the particle size range and content must be stated in advance so the supplier can evaluate channel adaptability.
