PLATEflow
The PLATEflow system comprises a Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE), prepiped and mounted on a Buffer Vessel. It is designed to supply hot water in situations where demand can vary over the course of a day, e.g. hotels, hospitals, factories etc. The PLATEflow system effectively decreases the amount of stored hot water required, while still delivering peak flow rates as demanded.
Supplied pre-assembled to your own specification, the PLATEflow significantly reduces installation and commissioning time. It can be supplied as either a vented, tank fed unit, or suitable for unvented applications when fed from the mains or a boosted cold water supply.
OPERATION
At times when less than the design flow rate is required, all the hot water requirement is generated instantly by the PHE (A), with any excess recharging the buffer vessel (B). Only when demand exceeds the design flow rate of the PHE, is water from the buffer vessel used (C). Even when the buffer is depleted, the design flow rate is always available.
