Plate Heat Exchanger Supply

Plate heat exchanger supply in Kenya. Refitec Kenya supplies and installs plate heat exchangers for dairy, beverage, process and HVAC applications. Call +254 704 843 613.

Plate heat exchangers are among the most efficient heat transfer devices available, transferring heat between two fluids across thin corrugated plates in a compact frame. They are used to cool milk, chill beverages, recover heat, isolate circuits and protect equipment. Refitec Kenya supplies and installs plate heat exchangers (PHEs) for the food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical and industrial sectors in Nairobi and throughout Kenya.

What We Supply

Brazed plate heat exchangers — compact, efficient units for refrigeration evaporators and condensers, heat pumps and domestic hot water applications.
Gasketed plate heat exchangers — expandable, serviceable units for dairy and beverage cooling, process heating and cooling, and HVAC applications.
Custom configurations — plates and gaskets in materials suited to the duty, including stainless steel plates for food-grade applications.
Spare parts — replacement plates, gaskets and frames for common makes, to restore existing units to full performance.

Why Plate Heat Exchangers

Plate heat exchangers achieve very high heat transfer coefficients in a small footprint, saving space and reducing refrigerant charge when used as evaporators or condensers. Their turbulent flow resists fouling, and their close temperature approach enables efficient heat recovery. Gasketed units can be opened, cleaned and re-gasketed in minutes, and capacity can be adjusted by adding or removing plates, an important flexibility as production grows.

Applications in the Kenyan Market

Dairy cooling — milk cooling from the herd or tanker to storage temperature, critical for milk quality and acceptable bacteria counts.
Beverage and brewery — wort cooling, product cooling and glycol circuits.
Food processing — chilling brines, syrups, sauces and liquid egg, and clean-in-place (CIP) heating and cooling.
HVAC and chilled water — pressure isolation between plant and building circuits, free cooling interfaces and heat pump circuits.
Industrial — machine cooling, oil cooling and heat recovery between process streams.

Our Supply and Installation Service

Duty specification — we establish flow rates, inlet and outlet temperatures, fluid properties and allowable pressure drop.
Selection — we size the plate heat exchanger and plate/gasket materials for the duty, whether dairy cooling, glycol evaporation or heat recovery.
Supply — we deliver quality units with correct connections, insulation options and, for gasketed units, spare gasket sets.
Installation — our technicians install the exchanger with correct piping, valves, strainers and supports, ensuring hygienic drainability and cleanability.
Commissioning — we verify approach temperatures, pressure drops and flow balance, and confirm stable operation with connected refrigeration or process plant.
Service — we offer re-gasketing, cleaning and performance checks to maintain efficiency.

Why Choose Refitec Kenya

Refitec Kenya understands both the thermal and the hygienic sides of heat exchange in food and beverage service. Our selections are engineered, our installations are clean and serviceable, and our support keeps exchangers performing. We serve clients in Nairobi, Kiambu, Machakos, Thika, Nakuru, Mombasa and countrywide.

Get the Right Heat Exchanger

Specify your plate heat exchanger once, correctly. Call Refitec Kenya on +254 704 843 613 for expert selection, competitive supply and professional installation.

We also provide honest advice about when a plate heat exchanger is not the answer, because correct equipment selection protects both your budget and your process. For dairy and food clients, we advise on clean-in-place compatibility and gasket materials, and we supply spare gasket sets so that scheduled re-gasketing never stalls production. For refrigeration applications, we match brazed plate units to the refrigerant, capacity and superheat requirements of the system, ensuring stable expansion control and oil return. Send us your duty conditions and let our engineers select the right exchanger the first time.
