WATER OIL EXCHANGERS
- Brazed plate heat exchanger
Brazed plate heat exchanger
The heat exchanger with braze welded plates consists of pressed stainless steel plates which are brazed with copper alloy during a vacuum process.
During the brazing process the plates are packed by turning them of 180° so to produce two separate flow chambers, where the fluids, which must exchange heat, flow in opposite directions.
The pressing on the plates causes a great turbulence in the fluids; this increases the thermic exchange coefficients even in case of little volumetric flows.
Advantages
- Compact and light unity
- High thermic exchange coefficient thanks to the particular structure of the plates
- High working temperature and pressure
- High corrosion strength (the plates are made of stainless steel)
- Simple installation and repair; it does not need any maintenance
