Taco Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers (PF Series)

Taco PF Heat Exchangers transfer heat between separate fluid circuits through gasketed metal plates held within a bolted frame. The movable cover provides access for cleaning, inspection and plate replacement.
Available with different plate materials, gaskets and pressure ratings, the PF Series can be selected to match the required duty. The frame accommodates at least 10% additional plates for future expansion, subject to selection limits.

Plate materials: 304 or 316 stainless steel.
Working pressures: 150 or 300 psi (approximately 10.3 or 20.7 bar).
Operating temperature: 230°F (110°C) standard, according to current manufacturer information; higher-temperature options available.
Gaskets: Nitrile or EPDM, including high-temperature options.
Gasket attachment: Glue-free clip-on or snap-on designs for on-site replacement.
Connection sizes: 1"–12" in the supplied datasheet.
Connection types: NPT up to 2"; lined studded ports above 2".
Frame: Bolted construction with fixed and movable covers; epoxy-painted carbon steel surfaces, excluding bolts.
Plate guidance: Stainless steel contact surfaces on carrying and guide bars.
Expansion allowance: At least 10% additional plates.
Leak indication: Gasket design indicates seal leakage before fluids intermix.
Options: Aluminium or 304 stainless steel protective shroud.
Selection: Computerised sizing to suit fluid properties, temperatures, flow rates and allowable pressure drops.
