Watch the video to hear Emelie Arvinius, Global Applications Manager, talk about the big win you get with the hygienic WideGap – improved energy efficiency ⚡, which saves both energy and operating costs.
Heat recovery
Heat recovery is crucial for improving energy efficiency and reducing costs. The innovative plate pattern of the WideGap plate heat exchanger enables high heat recovery, even with high fibrous fluids. By running the plate heat exchanger product to product, heat transfer between fluids is optimized, resulting in efficient heat recovery. This process achieves a close temperature approach, enhancing heat transfer efficiency. By capturing and utilizing heat from the outgoing fluid to preheat the incoming fluid, significant energy savings can be achieved.
