Our Sondex S188 heat transfer plates are manufactured based on Sondex official drawings and high-precision 3D laser scanning data of genuine Sondex S188 parts, ensuring full compatibility with Sondex S188 plate type heat exchangers and optimized for both cooling and heating applications:

• OEM-Level Matching: Identical dimensions, corrugation pattern, port size, positioning holes, and sealing groove design to the original Sondex S188 heat transfer plates. Strictly matches the original heat exchanger’s assembly parameters, ensuring direct installation without modifications to the frame, gaskets, or tightening process.
• Dual-Purpose Adaptability: Optimized for both cooling and heating scenarios, with a corrugation design that balances heat transfer efficiency in low-temperature cooling (-30℃) and high-temperature heating (+200℃) operations. No performance loss when switching between cooling and heating modes.
• Seamless Integration: Fully compatible with original Sondex S188 gaskets (EPDM/NBR/HNBR/FPM) and components, supporting mixed use with genuine plates in the same heat exchanger unit. Zero installation risk and stable operation from the first use.

The Sondex S188 heat transfer plate features an advanced herringbone corrugation design, specifically optimized to maximize heat transfer efficiency, reducing energy consumption for cooling and heating systems:

• Enhanced Turbulence & Heat Transfer: Herringbone corrugation (30°/60° variable angle) creates strong fluid turbulence at low flow velocity, eliminating heat transfer dead zones and increasing the heat transfer coefficient by 15-20% compared to standard heat transfer plates. Heat transfer coefficient reaches up to 7000 W/(㎡·K), ensuring fast and uniform cooling/heating.
• Low Pressure Drop Design: Optimized corrugation spacing and channel structure reduce fluid pressure drop (≤0.3MPa), minimizing energy consumption of circulating pumps while maintaining high heat transfer efficiency—ideal for energy-saving operation in dual-purpose systems.
• Temperature Adaptability: Designed to withstand extreme temperature changes (from -30℃ to +200℃), ensuring stable heat transfer performance in both cooling (e.g., industrial chiller) and heating (e.g., district heating) applications without material fatigue or performance degradation.

We offer two core material options for Sondex S188 heat transfer plates, tailored to different operating environments and cooling/heating media, ensuring durability and long-term performance:

• SS316L Stainless Steel (Standard): Compliant with ASTM A240 and EN 10088 standards, featuring ultra-low carbon content and excellent corrosion resistance to chloride, weak acid/alkali, and industrial media. Ideal for harsh industrial cooling/heating systems, marine applications, and chemical processing—ensuring resistance to corrosion from alternating hot and cold media.
• SS304 Stainless Steel (Cost-Effective Alternative): Suitable for low-corrosive environments such as HVAC, district heating/cooling, and clean water circulation. Offers good atmospheric corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness, while maintaining the same heat transfer efficiency and dimensional consistency as SS316L plates.
• Surface Treatment: All plates undergo pickling & passivation (standard) or electro-polishing (optional) treatment, forming a dense passive film that resists scaling, corrosion, and gasket adhesion—ensuring smooth fluid flow and maintaining high heat transfer efficiency over time.

Adopting advanced manufacturing equipment and strict quality control processes, ensuring consistent performance across batches—critical for bulk industrial orders and continuous operation of cooling/heating systems:

• CNC Stamping & Machining: 12,000-ton CNC hydraulic stamping equipment for one-time plate forming, followed by precision CNC machining for sealing grooves and positioning holes. Strict dimensional tolerance control (±0.02mm) ensures uniform corrugation depth, plate flatness, and sealing groove precision.
• Defect-Free Production: Each heat transfer plate undergoes 100% appearance inspection, dimensional measurement, and flatness testing to eliminate defects such as burrs, bubbles, dimensional deviation, and surface cracks. Corrugation structure is inspected to ensure optimal turbulence and heat transfer performance.
• Batch Consistency Control: For bulk orders, each batch of Sondex S188 plates undergoes random sampling testing for material composition, mechanical properties, and heat transfer efficiency—ensuring uniform quality and reliable performance in large-scale cooling/heating systems.

Our Sondex S188 heat transfer plate is exclusively designed for Sondex S188 heat exchangers, widely used in dual-purpose cooling and heating scenarios across various industries, delivering high-efficiency heat transfer and stable performance:
