Plate heat exchanger for heating or cooling bulk solids

DWPI Title: Heat exchanger for heating or cooling bulk solid, has spacers that is mounted between adjacent heat transfer plate assemblies to space adjacent heat transfer plate assemblies apart to facilitate flow of bulk solids from inlet
Use: Heat exchanger for heating or cooling bulk solid.
Advantage: The spacers is suitable thickness to provide suitable spacing between the heat transfer plate assemblies for the flow of bulk solids between the heat transfer plate assemblies. The heat transfer plate assemblies is laterally offset such that the heat transfer plate assemblies of the banks are not all vertically aligned, facilitating heating or cooling of the bulk solids.
Novelty: The heat exchanger (100) has a second sheet that is bonded to the first sheet to enclose the channels between the first sheet and the second sheet, and the second sheet includes a second pair of holes generally aligned with the first pair of holes of the first sheet to form first through holes and second through holes to facilitate flow of the fluid through the first through holes, through the channels, and through the second through holes. Multiple spacers is mounted between adjacent heat transfer plate assemblies to space the adjacent heat transfer plate assemblies apart to facilitate the flow of the bulk solids from the inlet (102), between the adjacent heat transfer plate assemblies and supports for supporting multiple heat transfer plate assemblies.
