Our unique Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger (PSHE) is at the forefront of heat exchanger technology. The core of this heat exchanger is a fully welded plate pack enclosed in a strong shell structure, which eliminates the need for a gasket. Due to its advanced construction, Vahterus PSHE combines the best features of plate & frame and shell & tube heat exchangers.

Our PSHE has numerous advantages over traditional heat exchangers. It’s compact and light in weight, and since it has no gaskets, it can withstand higher pressure and temperatures than plate & frame heat exchangers. The structural properties of PSHEs also make them durable, easy to maintain and energy-efficient.
