Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger
Compact, Efficient, and Built for Demanding Thermal Applications
Product Overview
The Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger (BPHE) is a high-performance thermal solution designed for industries requiring compact size, leak-proof operation, and exceptional heat transfer efficiency. Constructed by vacuum-brazing stainless steel plates with copper or nickel, it eliminates gaskets and seals, making it ideal for high-pressure, high-temperature, or corrosive environments. With applications spanning HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial processes, BPHEs deliver unmatched reliability and energy savings.
Key Features
Leak-Free Design:
Copper or nickel-brazed joints ensure zero leakage, even under extreme pressure (up to 30 bar).
High Thermal Efficiency:Turbulent flow channels achieve 90%+ heat recovery rates, reducing energy consumption by 20-30% compared to shell-and-tube models.
Compact & Lightweight:50% smaller and 70% lighter than traditional exchangers, ideal for space-constrained installations.
Corrosion Resistance:316L stainless steel plates withstand aggressive media like ammonia, CO2, and glycol solutions.
Low Maintenance:No gaskets to replace; resistant to vibration and thermal fatigue.
