Rule-of-thumb to gage suitability of Plate-Heat-Exchanger in Fluid-Contains-solid or Slurry

Hi there, Something learnt days ago and copied over from my site to share within our community... Plate Heat Exchanger having narrow channel most probably "not recommended" for fluid contains solid and/or slurry services. However, there are still many success story of using PHE in abovementioned services.
i) 80% of the particles are less than 70% of the interplate gap on the heat exchanger.
ii) 100% of the particles are less than 90% of the interplate gap iii) Flowing velocity is below erosional velocity (causes premature plate failure) iv) The minimum wall temperature is above a point where crystal growth is expected.
