By layering a plurality of heat transfer plates (20, 20…) having connecting holes (21, 22, 23, 24) formed in each corner section thereof, interposing a channel-forming gasket (31) in the peripheral section between each heat transfer plate (20, 20), and interposing connecting-channel-forming gaskets (32) for alternatingly enclosing the connecting holes (21, 21) of adjacent heat transfer plates (20, 20), this plate heat exchanger has the following formed alternatingly therein: a first channel (1) through which a high-temperature fluid (H) flows and a second fluid through which a low-temperature fluid (C) flows, with heat transfer plates (20) as the boundaries therebetween; and connecting channels (3) for supplying and discharging the high-temperature fluid (H) and the low-temperature fluid (C) respectively to/from the first channel (1) and the second channel (2) via the connecting holes. The channel-forming gasket (31) is a double gasket comprising an inside gasket member (31a) and an outside gasket member (31b) positioned in parallel with one another.
F28D 9/02 - Heat-exchange apparatus having stationary plate-like or laminated conduit assemblies for both heat-exchange media, the media being in contact with different sides of a conduit wall the heat-exchange media travelling at an angle to one another
Provided is a cleaning method for cleaning a product which is contained in an autoclave (11) and is dyed by circulating a fluid in a supercritical state in which dye is dissolved and the autoclave (11) after the dyeing is terminated, the cleaning method being characterized in that after the dyeing is terminated, a pure fluid in the supercritical state which does not contain the dye is continuously introduced into the autoclave (11), thereby gradually reducing the concentration of the dye in the fluid in the supercritical state which exists in the autoclave (11) to perform the cleaning continuously. As a result, it is possible to effectively clean the product and the autoclave (11) with the supercritical fluid while suppressing precipitation of the dye dissolved in the supercritical fluid, and significantly improve the cleaning efficiency because the cleaning process is performed continuously from the dyeing process.
In a plate heat exchanger, a plurality of heat transfer plates (12) are stacked in such a manner that a plurality of first heat exchange chambers (15) and a plurality of second heat exchange chambers are alternately formed between the heat transfer plates, and steam is generated or condensed in the first heat exchange chambers. An evaporation capacity when the steam is generated or a condensing capacity when the steam is condensed is increased in the heat exchanger. A large number of first raised parts (30) of a truncated cone shape projecting into the first heat exchange chamber (15) and a large number of second raised parts (31) of a truncated cone shape projecting into the second heat exchange chamber (16) are provided on each heat transfer plate (12). The first raised parts (30) are brought into contact with each other in the first heat exchange chamber (15), and the second raised parts (31) are brought into contact with each other in the second heat exchange chamber (16).
F28F 3/04 - Elements or assemblies thereof with means for increasing heat-transfer area, e.g. with fins, with recesses, with corrugations the means being integral with the element
F28D 9/02 - Heat-exchange apparatus having stationary plate-like or laminated conduit assemblies for both heat-exchange media, the media being in contact with different sides of a conduit wall the heat-exchange media travelling at an angle to one another
F28F 3/08 - Elements constructed for building-up into stacks, e.g. capable of being taken apart for cleaning
A vapor contact-type heating device capable of high-quality heating and processing, which is achieved by enhancing mixing efficiency of vapor and supplying vapor of relatively low pressure. A flow path (45) for raising the pressure of liquid is provided in a vapor mixing pump (4) as fluid sending means, and a vapor supply opening (46) is provided in a casing (43) so as to be opened in the pressure raising flow path (45). As a result, a vapor supply region (47) is formed in the pressure raising flow path (45).
F28C 3/08 - Other direct-contact heat-exchange apparatus the heat-exchange media being a liquid and a gas or vapour with change of state, e.g. absorption, evaporation, condensation
A23L 3/22 - Preservation of foods or foodstuffs, in general, e.g. pasteurising, sterilising, specially adapted for foods or foodstuffs by heating loose unpacked materials while they are progressively transported through the apparatus with transport through tubes
