The SHIELD plate and shell heat exchanger represents a new, revolutionary solution, ensuring not only increased flow turbulence, but also extensive heat exchange area.
The shell and plate heat exchangers, as an alternative to shell and tube exchangers, are perfect for working at high pressure (up to 100 bar) and high temperature (up to 450˚C). The design of the new SHIELD allowed for more compact, lighter, and above all more efficient exchanger, perfectly adjusting to individual requirements. The special shape of heating plates and the use of innovative JAG corrugation pattern resulted in high thermal effectiveness, while maintaining low flow resistance.
The new “jagged” channel design creates a more turbulent flow, which improves heat exchange and also decreases sediment accumulation. The additional benefit is an extensive heat exchange area and decreased overall pressure drops. Highly efficient JSHIELD plate and shell heat exchangers provide a reliable solution for applications requiring high working pressure. They serve as evaporators or condensers in refrigeration, as oil coolers or heaters, and in CIP cleaning systems. They are perfect for steam heating or condensing processes. The exchangers made of stainless steel, Hastelloy or Incolloy superalloys may also work with aggressive media.

Reinforced plate construction
A plate pack is enclosed in a solid structure. The plates are joined in pairs using the TIG welding method, and the ports, welded with a laser, further strengthen the construction, making it resistant to variable loads and thermal stresses.
Vacuum brazing
Vacuum brazing, used as an option for joining and reinforcing plates, creates a much larger contact surface, thereby increasing the strength of the device.
The pair of plates is joined along the entire outer surface, at the ports, and additionally at several optimally selected points in the heat exchange area.
