Our SONDEX® plate condensers are the perfect choice for special applications that regular plate heat exchangers cannot handle. Designed to handle high-volume vapor flows, this product features a large inlet for the vapor stream. This, combined with a short residence time creates the optimal condensation conditions– even for low-pressure vapor duties.

Applications that demand flawless condensation conditions are easily managed using our customized standard, semi-welded, and brazed SONDEX® condenser solutions. For low-pressure vapor duties, our specialized condenser plate design accommodates large vapor volumes while maintaining the thermal performance of the plates.

Features and benefits

• Designed specifically for demanding condensation duties that benefit from a special asymmetric plate design that is unavailable for regular heat exchangers.
• Experience the high thermal efficiency of our SONDEX® heat exchangers and enjoy peace of mind with an ideal turbulent flow that reduces the risk of fouling.
• Special Multi-gap plate design that can lower the energy consumption considerably for condensation duties that differ in flow volume.
