Taha Disk®
Plate Heat Exchanger (PHEs)
Function
How It Works
Taha-Disk® heat exchangers combine the best features of both gasket plate and shell-and-tube heat exchangers. They offer the highest operating pressures and temperatures, and the highest efficiency among all heat exchanger types. The fully-welded construction, using laser welding, ensures high reliability and minimal leakage, even at extremely low or high temperatures and pressures.
In a Taha-Disk® exchanger, the corrugated circular plates are divided into two halves, with inlet and outlet ports for fluid flow. The cold fluid enters the exchanger and is distributed through the narrow spaces between the plates. The hot fluid enters the shell and flows through the remaining space, transferring heat to the cold fluid. This design provides flexibility for various piping systems and enhances overall exchanger efficiency.
