Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers
Accu-Therm Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers (also known as BPE’s) are small and compact units capable of withstanding high pressures and temperatures and are ideal for clean low viscosity fluids with no particulates. Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers are rugged and cost effective, capable of withstanding high pressures and suitable for direct expanding refrigerants, heating and cooling service fluids. For extreme heat transmission jobs, a brazed plate heat exchanger can provide a strong and efficient solution.
The heat transfer surface in Accu-therm Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers consists of thin corrugated stainless steel plates, brazed into a block, without the use of gaskets. Copper is typically used as the brazing material. As with Accu-Therm Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers, every second channel through the pack of heat transfer plates has the heating media and every alternative channel, the cooling fluid.
Benefits and Features
- Highest heat transfer rates for clear fluids.
- Small footprint – compact design requires minimum floor or wall space
- Cost effective – low and economical costs due to high efficiency design and long lifespan.
- True counter-flow – fluids designed to flow in opposite directions at alternating plates.
- Easy installation – Heat exchangers can be supplied with custom stainless steel wall or floor mounting brackets.
- Capable of operating pressure up to 40Bar.
Applications
- HVAC heating and cooling
- Pool water heating
- Heat recovery of clear fluids in close temperature approaches.
- High temperature and pressure application such as steam.
