AKS Range of Plate Heat Exchangers
Our range of gasketed plate heat exchangers are designed to provide thermally efficient solutions for most HVAC or process applications. All AKS plate heat exchangers offer many built-in design features for great performance and ease of maintenance.
Features & Specification
- Compact Design – Reduction in weight and dimensions due to high heat transfer capabilities.
- Minimised Fouling – Due to optimal coverage over plate providing an even flow, avoiding cold spots, enabling turbulent flow over plate.
- Close Approach Temperatures – Due to large surface areas (not available in shell and tube heat exchangers).
- Easy Installation – Compact design allows for easy installation and maintenance.
- Inspection & Maintenance – Easy inspection and maintenance can be undertaken within the footprint of the heat exchanger.
- Easy upgrading – AKS PHE’s can be easily upgraded to meet further expansions.
- Plates – AKS plates can be 304-316 stainless steel or titanium.
- Gaskets – A selection of high quality gasket material is available including NBR, EPDM & Viton.
Plate Heat Exchanger Applications
- Hot Water Heating – Plate heat exchangers are ideally suited for domestic hot water services in hospitals, hotels, leisure centres, prisons, military bases and production facilities.
- Process Hot Water – Where large or small amounts of instantaneous hot water is required for food processing, waste down applications and production facilities without the need to store large quantities of water.
- Heat Recovery – Maximising heat recovery from waste energy.
- Oil Cooling & Heating – Ideal for process oil cooling and pre-heaters.
- Swimming Pool Heating – Used to supply and maintain pools to required temperatures.
- Engine Coolers – Jacket engine water coolers and oil coolers
- District Heating Systems – When large quantities of hot water are required for heating and process services.
- Chemical, Oil & Gas – Plate heat exchangers are ideally suited for many processes within the chemical and oil & gas industries.

Case Studies
Test & Inspection of Refrigerant Condenser
About This Project We received an enquiry from an engineering services company based in Aberdeen, Scotland, to test and inspect a refrigerant condenser. The condenser was from a North Sea oil rig, and upon inspection we found that the end covers, which were made from carbon steel and rubber [...]
Ships Main Engine Charge Air Cooler
About This Project We were contacted by the ships manager of a UK based ship management company to manufacture a replacement charge air cooler for the main engine on one of their ships which was docked in Singapore. The shipping management company had a charge air cooler in place, [...]
Standby Generator for Remote Cooling System
About This Project In summer 2019 we we received an enquiry from a UK based data centre. They had run some tests on their current cooling system and sent us some data with the purpose of manufacturing a brand new heat exchanger to cool their standby generator. [...]
