N = number of plates. Reference dimensions only. Confirm final nozzles, supports, service clearance and the approved drawing before installation.
Operating range for the selected configuration
Pressure, temperature, heat-transfer area and inspection requirements are confirmed for the selected model, materials and duty. Catalogue maximum values must not be combined as an operating point.

Openable shell
A removable cover provides access to the pack for the agreed maintenance strategy.
Single-pass / multi-pass
Pass arrangement follows flow rate, velocity, temperature approach and pressure-drop limits.
Horizontal / vertical
Orientation and nozzle allocation follow phase behaviour, drainage and installation space.
The available construction is confirmed during engineering selection. Review configuration guidance
Materials for both fluid circuits
Plate pack
304L · 316L · 904L · 254 SMO · Duplex · Titanium · Nickel alloys
Shell and wetted connections
Carbon steel, stainless steels and corrosion-resistant alloys, selected for the project.
These options are listed in the existing JINCHEN technical material. Confirm grade and availability. Selection considers fluid chemistry, concentration, chlorides, temperature and cleaning method.
Start with your thermal duty
Liquid / liquid
Water, glycol, oils and compatible process solutions. Review viscosity, fouling and pressure drop.
Review the application
Condensation
Steam, refrigerants and process vapours. Review vapour volume, drainage and cooling conditions.
Review the application
Evaporation
Flooded refrigeration and process boiling. Review liquid inventory, feed and vapour separation.
Review the application
Heat recovery
Recover energy from process streams. Define both streams, available temperatures and allowable pressure drop.
Review the applicationSelect from the operating conditions
Connection diameter alone does not determine a suitable model. Send the hot and cold streams so thermal and mechanical selection can be reviewed together.

- Flow rates and inlet / required outlet temperatures
- Operating and design pressure / temperature
- Allowable pressure drop and fouling tendency
- For phase change: vapour load, liquid feed and drainage
