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.

Sizes & Materials

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.

Standard Brazed Plate

Copper-brazed models offer excellent thermal performance and cost-effectiveness for most water, oil, and refrigerant applications with good compatibility and high efficiency.

All-Stainless Brazed Plate

Nickel-brazed or diffusion-bonded all-stainless designs provide superior corrosion resistance for aggressive media, high-purity processes, and applications requiring no copper.

Common FAQs

Brazed plate heat exchangers deliver superior efficiency and compactness compared to traditional designs, with high turbulence reducing fouling and enabling up to 90% smaller footprints. They excel in HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial systems requiring reliable, low-maintenance heat transfer.


Brazed plate exchangers provide key advantages for modern thermal systems:

  • Compactness:Up to 90% smaller than shell & tube equivalents.
  • Efficiency:High turbulence and counter-flow maximize heat transfer.
  • Low Fouling:Turbulent flow reduces scaling and maintenance needs.
  • Cost-Effective:Lower material use, reduced refrigerant charge, and easy installation.

Brazed plate exchangers transfer heat between two fluids flowing in alternate channels formed by corrugated stainless steel plates permanently brazed together. Key features include:

  • Plate Pack:Corrugated plates create high turbulence and large surface area.
  • Brazing:Copper or nickel joints ensure leak-proof, high-pressure integrity.
  • Counter-flow:Maximizes temperature difference and efficiency.
  • Compact Design:Minimizes volume while delivering high performance.

Brazed plate heat exchangers are the modern choice for compact, high-efficiency applications in HVAC, refrigeration, heat pumps, and industrial processes. They offer superior thermal performance, reduced footprint, lower refrigerant charge, and excellent fouling resistance, making them ideal for space-constrained and energy-efficient systems worldwide.
