Gasketed plate heat exchanger Condenser for Condensing applications

Baode Cond GPHE is a plate surface condenser designed for condensation under vacuum. Baode Condenser GPHE is based on semi-welded technology. Vapor condenses in the welded channel while the cooling medium passes through the gasketed channel. In addition to stainless steel, the plates are also available in titanium, which makes it possible to use seawater as a cooling medium.

Working principle
Baode GPHE condenser is tailored for vacuum condensation. The large vapor inlet connection is placed centrally on the top and the smaller condensate outlet on each side in the bottom. The two medium sized connections for cooling media are centrally placed in the middle, which gives it a symmetrical design.

It uses the cassette concept with the plates welded in pairs. The vapor is condensed in the welded channel while plate pattern is specifically designed for optimal condensation, with an asymmetric channel configuration that features a large gap on the vapor side and the small gap on the colling water side. This make it possible to maintain a very low pressure drop on the vapor side while still keeping up the velocity and turbulence on the cooling water side, thus maximizing the heat transfer efficiency and minimizing fouling.
