Why choose Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger?

30 years ago, we created Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger (PSHE) technology. Today, it’s the benchmark for durability, efficiency and future-ready performance. While others follow, we continue to lead — with patented innovation, proven results, and systems built to power the next generation of energy.

We created PSHE because the old ways weren’t good enough. Vahterus PSHE—our patented innovation— combines the best of both worlds: the high heat transfer efficiency of plate heat exchangers with the robust, high-pressure capabilities of shell and tube heat exchangers.

The advantages of Vahterus Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger compared to shell and tube is that the Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger is compact, energy-efficient, and tailor-made for modern energy challenges. With faster response to changes, up to 70% smaller footprint, flexible flow arrangements and pin-point temperature control, the PSHE is the smarter alternative to traditional shell and tube heat exchangers.

Compared to traditional plate heat exchangers Vahterus Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger offers superior pressure, temperature and chemical resistance. In other words, it is a more robust heat exchanger, offering high-quality performance with better safety and less risk for leakage compared to traditional plate heat exchangers.

Designed for the next generation

Our fully welded design removes gaskets, cuts downtime, and boosts thermal performance — and importantly in today's world, reduces footprint up to 70% compared to traditional heat exchanger technology. No leaks. No plates to re-tighten. No compromises. Just pure performance, built to last for decades. Sustainable heat exchanger solutions for the next generation.
