Due to their ability to be customized for specific applications, including air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, brazed plate heat exchangers are commonly used in a number of industries. A brazed plate heat exchanger is comprised of several corrugated steel plates that have been stacked together and then vacuum brazed. Through this design, a series of non-intersecting parallel channels are created. As a result, it is possible for two liquids to flow through those channels without coming into contact with one another. Since the liquids are only separated by the steel plate in a brazed plate heat exchanger, they are able to move closely to one another, thereby making it possible for thermal energy exchange to take place.

In order to increase the brazed plate heat exchanger's heat transfer area, the channel plates must be constructed using a herringbone pattern. This means that every other channel plate will be rotated during the assembly process, allowing the patterns to face in opposite directions. This design is also beneficial in achieving optimal liquid distribution and make their way through the relevant channels with only a small amount of pressure drop occurring.

Brazed plate heat exchangers are often desired when it is not possible to install other types of heat exchangers or when it is undesirable to do so. Since brazed plate heat exchangers offer a greater range of pressure and operating temperatures, they can be used in a variety of industrial applications.

Advantages of Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers

Brazed plate heat exchangers also offer a number of other advantages. Those benefits include:

•High efficiency

•High corrosion stability

•High working pressure

•Small internal space

•Small weight and compact

•Large degree of operating temperature

•High reliability

•Low cost

•Simplicity of service and installation, thus requiring less time.

•Numerous available accessories

•Variety of flow outlines and connections available

Due to the wide range of benefits offered by brazed plate heat exchangers, they can be designed to suit a variety of different uses. In order to make sure that your brazed plate heat exchanger will suit your specific application, it is important to work with a manufacturer who will work one-on-one with you to design your product to meet your specific needs.
