Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger (BPHX)

Compact and Lightweight Design:

• Constructed from thin, corrugated stainless steel plates brazed together, resulting in a small footprint and reduced weight compared to shell-and-tube exchangers. Ideal for space-constrained applications.

High Thermal Efficiency:

• Corrugated plates induce turbulent flow, enhancing heat transfer. The large surface area from multiple plates ensures efficient energy exchange with high heat transfer coefficients.

Corrosion-Resistant Materials:

• Typically made of stainless steel plates with copper, offering durability in harsh environments and compatibility with diverse fluids, including refrigerants and water.

Leak-Proof and Low Maintenance:

• The monolithic brazed structure ensures leak resistance. No gasket replacement or retightening is required, reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Application Versatility:

• Widely used in HVAC, refrigeration (e.g., heat pumps, chillers), industrial processes, and hydronic systems due to efficient heat transfer and compactness.

High Pressure and Temperature Tolerance:

• Suitable for demanding conditions, with performance.

Cost-Effectiveness:

• Higher initial cost offset by lower lifecycle expenses due to minimal maintenance, energy savings, and longevity in suitable applications.

Customizable Configurations:

• Designed with varying plate counts and patterns to meet specific thermal and capacity requirements.
