• Graham Manufacturing has been an innovator in the Heat Transfer Industry for over 60 years. We are members in the HEI (Heat Exchanger Institute). HTRI (Heat Transfer Research Institute) & TEMA (Tubular Exchangers Manufacturers Association).

• Graham uses six different channel geometry's, each with different thermal & pressure drop characteristics, this allows for optimum performance in the Graham GPE.

• The diagonal flow path prevents dead areas. Nozzle connections are arranged to force fluid through the plate pack in a diagonal direction. This arrangement prevents areas that lead to inefficient operation & increased fouling in others designs.

• The Gasket Groove of the Graham Plate Exchanger is recessed 50% on Each plate. The result is a confined gasket area which prevents misalignment during assembly.

• Gaskets that are held in place by tabs or other mechanical means may slip out of place during assembly. This problem is often not detected until a hydro test. The unit must be disassembled & the gasket repaired, causing delays. For these reasons, all Graham gaskets are glued to the plates using high quality gasket adhesive. Graham's channel geometry and the use of high quality adhesive assures proper positioning of the gaskets during assembly.

• All Fasteners, including the tie bolts on Graham Plate Exchangers, are made of corrosion resistant, non galling, electro-zinc plated alloy steel.

• Port Liners are of stainless steel construction, assuring years of trouble free operation, and reducing spare parts & maintenance. Many competitors use elastomeric liners which must be periodically replaced.

• Standard frame components for Graham Plate Exchangers are sized to allow for 120% Capacity. This added length makes cleaning & maintenance easier, and allows the user to add additional plates should future demands increase.

• An extensive inventory of plates, gaskets, and frame components are kept in stock and are ready for assembly at Grahams Batavia, NY facility.

• Frames are designed in accordance with requirements of ASME Section VIII, Division 1 Each unit is hydro tested before shipment.
