The thickness of heat transfer plates used in the plate type heat exchanger ranges from _____________ mm, pressed in a single piece provided with grooves & corrugations?
Correct answer: B. 1.25 to 3.125
- A. 0.3 to 0.8
- B. 1.25 to 3.125
- C. 3.5 to 7.0
- D. 8 to12
Explanation
Corrugated plates for conventional plate heat exchangers are commonly specified in the approximate 1.25 to 3.125 mm range in this equipment-design correlation. Their grooves increase turbulence and stiffness while maintaining a compact heat-transfer surface.
