Plate type condenser is one of heat exchanging equipment, being similar to plate heat exchanger. I t is used to condense vapor into liquid by cooling medium. Its features include large capacity, high condensing efficiency, low pressure drop, compact design, simple operation, easy maintenance and wide suitability.

It is widely utilized for condensation in following fields:1) condensation of secondary vapor in final stage of vaporizer; 2)condensation of secondary vapor in vacuum crystallization system; 3)condensation of vapor in low pressure system;4)condensation in vaporization and fractionation systems;5)condenser of small thermal power station;6)condensation of medium in high vaccum;7)recovery of waste heat in petroleum, chemical ,sulphuric-acid and alkali industries, etc.

Materials of plate: stainless steel **4,**4L, **0, **6,**6L, alloy**4SMO, titanium (Ti),nickel (Ni) and Hastelloy, etc.
