The UniWeld combines the advantages of conventional shell and tube heat-exchangers with spiral and plate heat-exchangers due to its design and construction. This mixed construction is based on the design of the heat-transfer channels, which are on one side in the tube design and on the other side in a plate heat-exchanger. UniWeld Hybrid exchangers utilise in this way the advantage of tubular heat-exchangers (high temperature, pressure resistant and solid construction) and plate heat-exchangers (high heat transfer, minimal space and low logarithmic temperature difference) in a compact system. Other advantage compared with gasketed plate heat-exchangers is the safe splitting of the 2 media at pressures up to 80 bar and between -200°C and +900°C.
