Hi!
I would like to know if there's an optimal way to place a plate hx in a system (cascade for example), or we can place it like we need/want to.
Regards!

In wich way?
First stage capilary up?
What about horizontal, but with first or second stage up? Something like this:
______________up________
O 1st cap -> 1st suction O
O 2nd out <- 2nd in O

Evaporate: From bottom to top - aka upwards
Condenser: From top to bottom - aka downwards
Hope this helps :)

I don't wish to hijack the thread, but while we're on the topic of plate heat exchangers, anyone got any suggestions for locating a cheap supplier of them?
