What is a brazed plate heat exchanger?
Brazed plate heat exchangers are assembled from a series of metal plates with a specific wavy shape, which are brazed together. Thin rectangular channels are formed between the various plates for heat exchange. The heat exchanger is composed of thin metal plates that are stamped into a wavy pattern. Fluid flows through the channels between the plates via carefully arranged corner interfaces, with the cold and hot media always flowing in opposite directions in adjacent channels for heat exchange. Since the edges of the plates are welded, the medium will not leak out of the equipment. The contact points of the brazed plate heat exchangers are also焊接 points to withstand the pressure of the medium.
Brazed plate heat exchangers are an evolution of the removable type, with the sealing material transitioning from rubber gaskets to copper or nickel. All plates are bonded together using copper or nickel brazing. Just as with removable heat exchangers, where all contact points on the plates must fit tightly together, the brazed heat exchangers must also have all contact points fully brazed to ensure high heat exchange efficiency and pressure resistance, as well as a long service life.
2. Soldered Plate Heat Exchangers Advantages
Durable and highly corrosion-resistant. Made from SUS316 material sheets, soldered with copper or nickel. Offers superior corrosion resistance suitable for various fluids.
2. High-pressure resistance. The vacuum hard welding process allows the plate heat exchanger to reach a pressure resistance of 45bar.
3. Excellent heat transfer performance. The specially designed plate patterns achieve higher heat transfer efficiency under both counter-current and parallel flow conditions.
4. High-temperature resistance. The hard-soldered plate-type heat exchanger made of SUS316 material allows operation at temperatures up to 200°C.
5. Compact, convenient, and lightweight. The rigid plate heat exchanger is even lighter and more convenient than the shell-and-tube type; it's about 1/5 the size of the shell-and-tube and offers the same thermal transfer capacity. Additionally, it's easier to install and replace.
6. Low maintenance costs. The specially designed plate pattern is perfectly suited for turbulent heat transfer conditions, eliminating the need for special and frequent maintenance expenses.
