Shipbuilding and Desalination Solutions

Overview

A ship’s main propulsion system includes subsystems such as the lubrication oil system, jacket cooling water system (both open and closed loop), and fuel system. These systems generate heat during energy production, and plate heat exchangers play a key role in controlling the temperature of these systems. Plate heat exchangers are widely used in ship propulsion systems due to their high efficiency and compact size. In desalination, where seawater is converted into fresh water, plate heat exchangers are essential for evaporating and condensing water.

Solution Features

Plate heat exchangers in the shipping industry and seawater desalination systems often require frequent replacement of components due to corrosion from high-salinity seawater, increasing maintenance and replacement costs. At the same time, overweight heat exchangers will also limit the cargo space and flexibility of ships, affecting operational efficiency.

Compact Structure

Under the same heat transfer capacity, the footprint of the plate heat exchanger is only 1/5 of that of the shell and tube type.

Diverse Plate Materials

For different media and temperatures, plates of different materials can be selected to adapt to different working conditions.

Flexible Design, Improved Efficiency

Adding intermediate partitions to achieve multi-stream heat exchange and improve heat exchange efficiency.

Lightweight

The new generation of plate heat exchangers has advanced plate corrugation design and compact structure design, which significantly reduces the weight of the whole machine, bringing unprecedented lightweight advantages to the shipbuilding industry.
