"Metal plate stacks" most commonly refer to stacks of metal plates used in heat exchangers (e.g., brazed or gasketed plate-and-frame). Growth is tied to HVAC, process cooling, and heat recovery. Demand is for high-efficiency, compact designs with corrosion-resistant alloys. The market is mature with key players like Alfa Laval.
