connections between sections of the plate
heat exchanger and provide external
connections to and from these sections.
2.3.2 Spray screen
A spray screen can be mounted on the plate
pack for protection. The spray screen is
made from folded stainless steel and it is
hung on the top bar or tie bars of the plate
heat exchanger for easy installation and
removal.
L Note: Use of a spray screen is
recommended whenever corrosive liquids or
high temperatures present a safety hazard to
personnel.
A spray screen may be supplied for new or
existing plate heat exchangers.
2.3.3 Divider plates
A divider plate is typically a solid steel plate
between 6 and 10 mm thick. The divider
plate has the same outer shape as the flow
plates.
Divider plates are used to divide a heat
exchanger into two separate operating
sections. Divider plates have no external
connections but do allow flow from one
section to the next through their ports.
