Brazed plate heat exchangers deliver compact, high-performance heat transfer with corrugated stainless steel plates permanently brazed together. They offer exceptional efficiency, minimal footprint, and resistance to high pressures and temperatures in demanding HVAC, refrigeration, and process applications.
The following is a list of typical processes that require brazed plate heat exchangers: HVAC, heat pumps, chillers, evaporators, condensers, oil cooling, hydraulic cooling, data center cooling, district heating, refrigeration, process heating/cooling, and heat recovery.
Brazed plate units feature 316L stainless steel plates, copper or nickel brazing, and designs from compact 3×8" to large industrial frames. They handle pressures up to 2030 psi and temperatures from -196°C to 225°C. Asymmetric channels, high-performance plate patterns, and optional coatings optimize efficiency and reduce fouling.
Available in standard, all-stainless, and high-pressure models with multiple connection types and full compliance to ASME, PED, and other standards. Compact design and high turbulence make them ideal for space-limited and high-efficiency applications.
Copper-brazed models offer excellent thermal performance and cost-effectiveness for most water, oil, and refrigerant applications with good compatibility and high efficiency.
Nickel-brazed or diffusion-bonded all-stainless designs provide superior corrosion resistance for aggressive media, high-purity processes, and applications requiring no copper.
