1.1 - General description
Compabloc is a welded plate heat exchanger without interplate gaskets allowing a large heat transfer area within a very
compact space (low footprint). It is made from stacks of welded plate packs inserted in a rigid rectangular bolted frame
for mechanical strength and the separation of the various circuits. Each circuit can be fitted with a detachable baffle
plate assembly. Only 4 panel gaskets are installed, as indicated on the exploded view Figure 1.
Compabloc is designed and manufactured in accordance with a Pressure Vessel Code (ASME, EN-13445, etc.) and
for defined working conditions. The Design & Manufacture of the Compabloc is made per a Quality System
Management according to ISO 9001.
Figure 1: Compabloc exploded view
Four carbon-steel panels fitted with nozzles enable the connection of the pipework. Optionally, these panels can be
lined with the same material as the plates themselves. The plates, baffle plates, nozzles and panels linings can be
made from stainless steel 316L, Titanium, 254 SMO, Hastelloy, or other pressable and weldable material. The flow can
be directed using baffles (number of passes chosen to maximize heat transfer and minimize fouling).
The bolts of panels are put in place with high temperature lubricant.
