Brazed Plate heat exchangers

Brazed Plate heat exchangers are used in many industrial and refrigeration applications. Due to stainless steel plate composition with copper brazing, they are highly resistant to corrosion.
A plate heat exchanger is composed of a number of plate elements each of which comprises two thin nested plates, the elements defining flow spaces between them, adjacent elements being joined around their periphery by brazing bent edge portions, there being brims extending from the edge portions of each plate element, each brim being spaced from the brims of adjacent plate elements.

Typical applications include: 

• Refrigerant Evaporating & Condensing

• Heat Pumps

• Steam Heating

• Engine or Hydraulic Oil Cooling

• District or Zone Heating Systems

• Various Heating and Cooling Duties
• Swimming Pool Heating
Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers represent the most compact, rugged and cost-effective means of transferring heat in many industrial and refrigerant applications.  Built from 316 Stainless Steel with copper brazing materials, they provide exceptional corrosion resistance. The SB-Series features corrugated plates that produce highly turbulent flow in a true counter-current direction.  This results in high efficiency and a very compact heat exchanger design.  Due to the smaller size and reduced material content, they can be the most economical heat transfer choice.
Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers are available for process and refrigeration applications. Made from stainless-steel plates and copper (or) nickel brazing materials, they are suitable for a wide variety of heat exchanger applications.
