Classification
The choice of a particular flow arrangement depends upon the required heat exchanger effectiveness, fluid flow paths, allowable thermal stresses, temperature levels and other design criteria. Heat exchangers may be classified according to their flow arrangement. Parallel-flow Counter-flow Cross-flow Divided-flow Split-flow

Classification
Plate heat exchangers have three main types : gasketed ,spiral and lamella heat exchangers.
The most common of the plate-type heat exchangers is the gasketed plate heat exchanger

Classification
Plate heat exchangers yield heat transfer rates three to five times greater than other types of heat exchangers.
The design of the plate heat exchanger allows to add or remove plates to optimize performance, or to allow for cleaning, service, or maintenance. Plate exchangers offer the highest efficiency mechanism for heat transfer available in industry.
Classification
Plate exchangers are limited when high pressures, high temperatures, or aggressive fluids are present.
Because of this problem these type of heat exchangers have only been used in small, low pressure applications such as on oil coolers for engines.
