Ljungström
Plate HX ™
Reliable Heat Recovery for High Temperature Industrial Systems
Engineered to reduce leakage risk, minimize maintenance,
and support long term operational performance.
Advanced acid gas control
Protecting equipment and environment from harmful emissions
Built for the Real Challenges
of Heat Recovery
Industrial heat recovery systems operate under demanding conditions where reliability often matters more than theoretical performance.
Operators must balance:
in existing facilities
pressure drop constraints
heat exchanger with zero leakage, providing optimized
profit.
These realities, not efficiency alone, drive equipment decisions.
A Proven Solution for High Temperature Applications
Ljungström® Plate HX is an all welded plate heat exchanger designed for reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Engineered for:
- Gas to gas and gas to air heat recovery
- High temperature, low pressure applications
- Low pressure losses
Design approach:
Prioritizes long term reliability, mechanical simplicity, and ease of maintenance over complex systems.
Key Capabilities of Ljungström® Plate HX
Key Capabilities Include:
Leakage Control
by Design
Fully-welded construction naturally results in zero leakage compared to clamped plate heat exchangers.
Mechanical Simplicity
Simple and robust design with fewer failure points and reduced downtime.
Optimized Thermal Performance
High effectiveness and low pressure drop support performance within tight operating constraints.
Designed for Harsh Gas Conditions
Engineered to handle particulate laden and fouling gas streams in demanding industrial service.
Maintenance Friendly Operation
Supports online soot blowing and water washing to help maintain performance over time.
Application Specific Configuration
Plate geometry, spacing, and flow arrangement are tailored to meet specific process requirements.
Flexible Installation Options
Configurations include cross flow, counter flow, and multi pass arrangements for a range of industrial applications.
Material Selection for Service Demands
Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, specialty alloys, and porcelain enamel depending on operating conditions.
At its core is a modular, all welded heat exchanger design built for long term reliability, maintainability, and lifecycle flexibility.
How it Works
