Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger
Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger can be used for a range of functions in a heating or cooling system – they can act as condensers, evaporators, oil or gas coolers and be used for other functions that involve the transfer of heating or cooling.
Advantages of plate heat exchanger
- Compact – Brazed plate heat exchangers are extremely compact compared to other technologies. The carbon footprint can be as little as one-tenth that of a shell and tube heat exchanger or half that of a gasket plate heat exchanger.
- Efficient – With no need for gaskets or supporting equipment, about 95% of the material is used to transfer heat. The highly turbulent flow enables efficient use of small temperature differences.
- Reliable – The robust construction requires no gaskets, eliminating their risk of leaking. This ensures stable thermal and hydraulic performance, with minimal maintenance and operational downtime.
- Flexible – The compact size uses space efficiently and allows for flexible system design. Larger installations can be constructed unit by unit via standard doors and elevators, and capacity can easily be expanded when demand increases.
- Cost-effective – Save on energy, maintenance, spare parts, and installation. The life-cycle cost over 15-20 years is often half that of a corresponding gasketed solution.
- Self-cleaning – Brazed plate heat exchangers are typically self-cleaning due to highly turbulent flows. In applications with a high risk of fouling or scaling, Cleaning in Place is easy without disassembly.
