Head of steam.

The article discusses the development of steam plate exchangers in process heating in Great Britain. Steam plate exchanger is more compact, efficient and has lower cycle costs compared to shell-and-tube models. Some of the areas where plate exchanger is used include the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, and distilling industries. Its turbulent flow reduces the build up of any limescale on the secondary side which reduce maintenance costs in many steam-to-water applications.
