Advantages of Plate Type Heat Exchanger Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE or PHEX) is a highly efficient type of heat exchanger that uses multiple, thin metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids.  How It Works The fundamental principle is simple: two fluids at different temperatures flow on opposite sides of a thin metal plate. Heat is...

Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger – How It Works The operating principle is identical to other plate heat exchangers but in a more robust package:

What is a Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger? A BPHE is constructed from multiple thin, corrugated metal plates (typically stainless steel) stacked together. Unlike a gasketed plate heat exchanger, a BPHE has no rubber gaskets or a frame. Instead, the entire plate pack is assembled and then placed in a vacuum furnace where a brazing material […]

Types of Evaporators Evaporators are classified based on two main criteria: How they are constructed and 1. Classification by Construction & How Fluid is Cooled A. Shell and Tube Evaporator This is the most common type in water chiller systems. It consists of a cylindrical shell (a large pressure vessel) with a bundle of tubes inside....

Types of Condensers How a condenser rejects heat depends on its type. The three main types are: Disadvantages: Less efficient, especially on hot days. Larger physical size and noisier due to the fans. Common in smaller commercial applications or where water is scarce
