Plate heat exchanger

The Illustrated Guide to Hot and Cold Water Services (BG 33/2014), written by Reginald Brown and published by BSRIA in 2014, defines a plate heat exchanger as: ‘A means of transferring heat between two fluids without the fluids coming into contact. A plate heat exchanger consists of a stack of corrugated metal plates forming alternating chambers and a large surface area for heat to exchange between fluids.’
