Brazed
Heat Exchangers
The brazed heat exchanger is the most advanced form of the compact plate heat exchanger especially designed for a wide range of applications in both process and hydronic applications. These heat exchangers are also widely used for refrigeration applications as evaporators, condensers and sub-coolers.
Operating
Principle
The brazed plate heat exchanger has a simple operating principle. Based
on the plate and nozzle orientation, each fluid passes through alternative
channels within the heat exchanger. All plate material and nozzles are
Stainless Steel 316 with 99.9% copper used for brazing the heat exchanger
together.
An extremely high heat transfer coefficient is attained due to the flow characteristics in each channel. A specially designed and tested chevron pattern causes a turbulent flow of the fluid resulting in higher heat transfer.

Advantages
of the Brazed Heat Exchanger
Compact:
Due to the high efficiency of the brazed plate heat exchangers, these
heat exchangers are often half the size of conventional shell & tube heat
exchangers. The smaller footprint also makes it easier to be installed
on skid systems and portable equipment packages.
High
Efficiency:
Due to the turbulent flow of the fluid in the channels, the heat transfer
coefficients of our brazed plate heat exchangers are 3-5 times higher
than that of a conventional Shell & Tube heat exchanger for a similar
application.
Rugged
Construction:
The brazed plate heat exchanger is brazed using 99.9% copper. The copper
provides a strong bond when heated in a special furnace, keeping the plates
bonded together. The heat exchangers have a high pressure-temperature
rating. All our copper brazed heat exchangers are rated for 450 psig, 428
F degrees..
Closer
Approach
The brazed plate heat exchanger can provide a temperature approach of
1 degree F. This allows for maximum utilization of waste heat recovery.
