ThermaPlate Heat Exchangers’ Post

ThermaPlate manufactures many custom heat exchangers, but in the last few years, we have become a specialist in freeze-drying applications. These systems operate under difficult thermal conditions, and the design of the ice condenser plates is critical to controlling final product quality and ideal batch times. The client we supplied the following ice condenser plates to, had contacted us originally because the supplier who had made his first units could not help him troubleshoot why they were performing so poorly. After evaluating the existing equipment we discovered gross design flaws with the refrigerant circuiting in the Pillow Plate condenser plates and liquid distributors, explaining the severe lack of performance. This client decided to purchase his next units from ThermaPlate, and once our first units were brought online the client was extremely pleased with the improved performance and the ability to greatly short batch times. A couple of years later this same client has now purchased (16) of these banks from us.
