A penukar panas plate-fin is a type of penukar panas design that uses plates and finned chambers to transfer panas between fluids, most commonly gases. It is often categorized as a compact heat exchanger to emphasize its relatively high transfer panas surface area to volume ratio. The plate-fin heat exchanger is widely used in many industries, including the aerospace industry for its compact size and lightweight properties, as well as in cryogenics where its ability to facilitate heat transfer with small temperature differences is utilized.
Aluminium alloy plate fin exchangers panas, asring diarani minangka Brazed Aluminium Heat Exchangers, wis digunakake ing industri pesawat kanggo luwih saka 60 taun lan diadopsi menyang industri pamisahan online cryogenic watara wektu perang donya kapindho lan sakcepete sesampunipun menyang pangolahan cryogenic. ing pabrik kimia kayata Pengolahan Gas Alam. Padha uga digunakake ing mesin sepur lan mobil motor. Sirip piring stainless steel wis digunakake ing pesawat kanggo 30 taun lan saiki dadi diadegaké ing pabrik kimia.
