The MonPlex™ design uses a non-welded, "floating" plate pack contained within a rigid housing. This design permits thermal expansion and contraction with minimal stress on the unit’s components. A patented compression strip assembly provides a tight metal-to-metal seal. This design reduces stress and extends the life of the MonPlex™ unit.
Uniquely constructed plates, nested together with directional ribs providing support throughout the plate pack, form the MonPlex™ gas flow passages. Combine this with the flexibility in materials of construction and flow patterns, and MonPlex™ is the right choice for your gas-to-gas heat transfer application.
MonPlexTM offers many other benefits over conventional exchangers:
- Generous plate clearances
- Ability to inspect and clean both sides of the exchanger
- No tubes to vibrate or to cause acoustic resonance
- Floating plate pack to handle differential thermal expansion
- Modular design can accommodate future incremental capacity increases
- Modules are transportable, allowing top-quality shop fabrication, eliminating costly field fabrication
- Compact space-saving geometry
- Rigid heavy-duty frame assembly
- Material "mix-and-match" construction
- Ease of installation
- High efficiency
- 10% - 15% less weight
- 30% - 40% smaller size
MECS custom designs the unit to meet your needs and then fully fabricates the MonPlex™ in its shop to ensure quality. Units can then be shipped as individual blocks or complete modules, depending on the overall size of the MonPlex™. |
