Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers

Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers

We have an extensive range of Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers available for immediate delivery from stock with 3/4", 1", 1.1/4", 1.1/2" and 2" connections

The plates are manufactured in AISI 316 stainless steel with either Copper (standard) or Nickel Brazing (for swimming pools / more aggressive applications)

Maximum design pressure of 30 bar and maximum operating temperature of 200°c

WRAS approved models are available.

 


WHAT DO THEY DO?

Plate Heat Exchangers transfer heat energy from one side to another without the two products on either side mixing. So you can install them between the boiler and process circuit for example to separate the two circuits. Plate heat exchangers are a very popular choice mainly due to the compact size and high efficiency design that they offer.  

The list of advantages of plate type heat exchangers are lengthy and the list of applications are endless. 


ADVANTAGES:

  • Low purchase price (in comparison to an equivalent gasket plate model or shell and tube type unit)
  • Compact design
  • High thermal efficiency
  • High pressure and temperature ratings
  • Fully sealed

 

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:

  • Boiler separation plates
  • Water heating
  • Swimming pool heating 
  • Solar heating systems
  • Heat pump installations
  • Refrigerant evaporators & condensers
  • Compressed air coolers

WRAS APPROVAL:

Our stock range of Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers are WRAS approved subject to a maximum operating temp of 100°c


NICKEL BRAZING:

We have a limited range of Nickel Brazed units in stock for specialised applications where copper is not suitable such as:

  • Swimming Pools
  • Laser Cooling
  • De-ionised water
  • Ammonia systems
  • Corrosive liquids
  • Methanol gas condensing
  • Silicone oils

ACCESSORIES:

  • Insulation jackets to reduce energy losses and protect from scalding
  • Connection adaptors to aid installation
  • Protection filter ball valves to prevent heat exchanger from blocking
  • Mounting Brackets / Feet 
  • Temperature Controllers to modulate kw output / temperature
  • Thermostatic Mixing Valves to prevent scalding
