Plate Heat Exchanger

Discover the Versatile Industrial ARES Plate Heat Exchanger in Malaysia

Engineered for efficiency and precision, the ARES Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) is a compact and reliable thermal solution designed to optimise heat transfer in industrial operations. Unlike traditional heat exchangers, the PHE uses stacked metal plates sealed with gaskets, enabling a high surface area for heat transfer while preventing fluid mixing. Its frame—comprising front and rear covers, carrying bars, guiding bars, and tie bolts—ensures stability and easy maintenance.

What makes a plate heat exchanger stand out is its modular and highly serviceable design. The PHE offers flexibility with removable plates, making cleaning, reconfiguration, and servicing straightforward. Its design encourages turbulent flow at low velocities, enhancing thermal performance and reducing fouling, leading to a smaller, space-saving footprint.

From HVAC to oil & gas, power generation to edible oil processing, this robust heat transfer system delivers consistency across diverse applications. As one of the trusted heat exchanger manufacturers, ARES continues to set the standard for quality and performance in Malaysia.

Compact Structure

Compare to S&T heat exchangers, PHE requires up to 5 times less space to operate.

Expandable

Additional plates can be added to an operating plate heat exhanger. High output – less cost.

Low Cost

Low maintenance cost, typically with only gaskets as the wear & tear part.

Efficient Design

PHE is capable of creating high turbulence which results in higher heat transfer coefficient and better heat transfer value.

Easy Maintenance

The whole heat transfer area can be reached by only loosening the bolts of the PHE.

Low Downtime

Time for maintenance (cleaning, leak control etc) is significantly reduced.

AWG Series – Wide Gap Plates

AWG Series consists of only wide gap plates. Compare to A Series plates, AWG plates have 5.5 mm to 12 mm plate gap which makes them easier to use in applications where contamination in the fluid is high.

ASW Series – Semi Welded Plates

A cassette contains two plates laser welded together. The advantage of this method is; one side has a welded plate channel and the other side has a traditional plate channel with gaskets. On the welded side, there are two specially produced corner hole gaskets creating the sealing between two cassettes. Thus, the gasket exposure to the fluid is reduced to a minimum on welded side.

ADP Series – Double Wall Plates

Two plates lair-welded together to ensure safety. For applications such as pharmaceutical industry, food & beverage, district heating, cooling of transformer oil, etc, where it is crucial that medium are not mixed

What is a plate heat exchanger and how does it work?

 A plate heat exchanger is a device that uses a series of thin and corrugated metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. It is highly efficient and has a wide range of applications, including HVAC, food processing, and manufacturing.

Using a plate heat exchanger in Malaysia provides various benefits, including:

  • High thermal efficiency.
  • Space-saving design.
  • Simple maintenance
  • Customizable capacity 

It’s an ideal solution for businesses needing a reliable and energy-efficient heat transfer system.

Choosing the best plate heat exchanger in Malaysia depends on:

  • Fluid types and temperatures
  • Pressure and flow rate requirements.
  • Installation space
  • Maintenance access and operational requirements

Local vendors, such as ARES, can provide bespoke sizing and recommendations for your specific industry.

With proper maintenance, they typically last 10-20 years. Exposure to corrosive fluids, high pressure, or poor maintenance can reduce life expectancy.

To ensure optimal performance, inspect and clean your plate heat exchanger at least once a year.

At Thermac Engineering, each plate heat exchanger is engineered with precision—featuring a robust epoxy-painted frame, movable tightening bolts, and corrosion-resistant steel components. 

Designed with a plate pack of high-efficiency gaskets and precision-aligned plates, it ensures superior thermal performance with minimal maintenance. What sets us apart? Our commitment to modular design, easy servicing, and bespoke configurations. With features like guided bars for alignment and reinforced support columns, our systems meet stringent industry standards.
