Plate heat exchangers and shell and tube heat exchangers are two of the most common types of heat exchangers, and both play an important role when heating or cooling wort during processing. In the new era of sustainability, saving energy and reducing environmental impact has become increasingly urge

Heat exchangers are used to optimize heat transfer from one gas or liquid to another during processing and cleaning-in-place (CIP) processes. Fouling or aging can cause heat exchanger performance to deteriorate and incur additional operating and energy costs to compensate for differences in target t

Compared to shell and tube heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers have grown in popularity over the past few decades. Generally speaking, plate heat exchangers have higher heat transfer efficiency and occupy less space. These factors have helped spark brewery interest in plate heat exchangers as an alternative to shell and tube heat exchangers. There are two methods of cleaning plate heat exchangers: cleaning in place (done by circulating chemicals through the channels of the plate heat exchanger) or manual cleaning (removing the plates from the frame and using a pressurized water jet to clean the plates individually).
