AB - Plate heat exchangers are realized by means of a heat transfer mechanism, in  which heat is naturally transferred from the hot substance to the object  with a lower temperature according to the laws of thermodynamics. Two  liquids of different temperatures flow on the wall, heat transfer on the  wall and convection of the liquid on the wall, thus promoting heat transfer  between the two liquids. Under the same flow rate and power consumption  conditions, its heat transfer coefficient is three times that of shell and  tube heat exchangers, which is a key and efficient new equipment for  effectively using effective resources and saving and developing new energy.  However the heat supply plate heat exchanger has a tiny circulation surface  and is easily obstructed. Regular maintenance and cleaning, troubleshooting,  and plate replacement all necessitate frequent heat exchanger disassembly  and installation. The requirements and challenges in dismantling and  assembling the heat exchanger are very high, and manual disassembly is  wasteful, making consistent force difficult to achieve. The current methods  of disassembly and assembly are inefficient and incorrect. The intelligent  mechanization of disassembly and assembly equipment is realized in this  paper by driving, clamping, automatic control, distance measurement,  sensing, and other systems. The problems of uneven force, low efficiency,  and precision in plate heat exchanger disassembly and assembly are solved.  Our power disassembly equipment for high efficiency heat transfer plate heat  exchangers not only enhances disassembly efficiency and precision, but it  also ensures the safe operation of the plate heat exchanger heating system,  and the heat transfer efficiency and heat exchange efficiency are improved.  Furthermore, it has a wide range of applications in the petroleum, chemical,  and other industries.
