Stainless Steel Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers

Refrigeration applications, including evaporators, condensers, and air-conditioning systems, require heat exchangers that efficiently manage heat transfer with refrigerants while ensuring reliability. HeatX’s brazed plate heat exchangers, made from 316L stainless steel with copper brazing, are engineered for these demands, offering superior corrosion resistance and high thermal efficiency. These units are optimized for refrigeration systems, providing precise temperature control and energy efficiency in commercial and industrial cooling applications.

Featuring advanced plate technologies, these exchangers support high-pressure operations up to 45 bar and temperatures from -196 °C to 200 °C. The compact, leak-proof design minimizes pressure drop, reduces energy consumption, and ensures durability in demanding refrigeration environments. These exchangers are not suitable for sanitary or marine applications but are ideal for refrigeration, air-conditioning, and process cooling systems.

HeatX’s brazed plate heat exchangers deliver a robust, energy-efficient solution for refrigeration applications, ensuring low maintenance and long-term performance.

Operations for refrigeration heat exchangers involve key steps to maximize efficiency and performance:

• Refrigerant Preparation: Refrigerants are conditioned to ensure compatibility with the exchanger, optimizing flow and composition for efficient heat transfer.
• Heat Transfer: Refrigerants flow through alternating channels formed by brazed plates, with a heating or cooling medium in adjacent channels, facilitating efficient phase change or liquid-to-liquid heat exchange.
• Temperature Control: Precise regulation of temperatures ensures optimal refrigeration cycle efficiency and prevents system inefficiencies.
• Pressure Management: Flexible designs handle high refrigerant pressures, minimizing energy losses and ensuring reliable operation.
• Testing: Post-process testing verifies refrigerant quality, temperature accuracy, and compliance with industry standards.

Each step leverages the precision and durability of HeatX’s brazed plate heat exchangers to ensure optimal performance in refrigeration applications.
