Chemical and process industry

Vahterus -Plate&Shell-® (PSHE) Heat Exchangers combine the benefits of traditional heat exchangers. PSHE can either be described as a fully welded, high integrity plate heat exchanger, with no gaskets; or a generic alternative to Shell & Tube, approx. 25% of the footprint, displaying both space and weight benefits.



With the physical capability and capacity of 2000 m2 of heat transfer area per exchanger, and the potential to utilise PSHE with design pressures up to 200 bar(g), Vahterus are able to fulfil many heat transfer requirements in the Chemical & Process industries. Operation of PSHE, based on their unique and fully welded construction, is achievable over a wide temperature (-200 to 900 C°) and capacity range (up to 20 000 kW/exchanger).

Applications for PSHE can be found in the following areas:

- Chemical Pharmaceutical
- Food & Beverage
- Pulp & Paper
- Marine
