Design:
Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers are among the most compact and cost-effective means of transferring heat in many industrial and commercial applications. They feature corrugated plates, similar to the Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers, which are brazed together at high temperatures, creating a compact, leak tight, durable, highly turbulent design with counter-current flow. |
Compact Size:
The brazed plate exchangers require 50% to 80% space as compared to other types of heat exchangers. Brazed Plate Exchangers reduced size considerabilty reduces material content, making them one of the most economical heat transfer choices. |
Temperature & Pressure:
Unlike Gasketed Plate Exchangers, the construction of brazed exchangers are not limited by the temperature and pressure rating of gaskets. Copper Braze-Joints are capable of temperatures above 425F and pressures of up to 450 PSI. An optional Nickel Brazed Design is available for applications requiring higher corrosion-resistance (i.e. De-Ionized Water). ASME Code Certified and U.L. Listed designs are available, when required.
