Plate & Shell Heat Exchangers in Chemical and Process Industry Applications
Most chemical and process plants operate under continuous-process conditions. JINCHEN Plate & Shell Heat Exchangers (PSHE), designed and manufactured on a fully customized basis, are ideally suited both for debottlenecking existing plants and for building new, optimized process units. Their counter-current flow arrangement, high thermal efficiency, and low fouling characteristics significantly improve overall energy performance. In addition, effective recovery of process heat reduces total energy consumption and lowers CO₂ emissions.
Specialty chemicals and pharmaceutical products are often manufactured in batch processes, where rapid and frequent temperature changes are required. JINCHEN PSHEs are well suited to withstand such demanding operating conditions. Their fully welded construction, protective shell design, and high manufacturing quality ensure safe operation, long service life, and ease of use in critical applications.
