A heat exchanger is a device or a machine that permits an efficient and powerful technique of transferring heat coming from one environment to another. Think about what happens if you drop an ice cube in hot tea. This ice cube melts so the tea gets freezing. This is the way a heat exchanger works.

The plate and frame heat exchangers part within the same principles as the brazed plate heat exchangers. The only change would be that the plate and frame heat exchangers will not be developed with brazed plates, though with metal. For that reason, they are going to use off faster and can have to be replaced more. Side arm heat exchangers have the experience of transfer heat from outside doors solid wood furnaces to domestic hot water heaters.

There are two main categories of heat exchangers: water-to-water heat exchangers as well as water to air heat exchangers. The primary kind encloses the most used models of this unit: the brazed plate heat exchangers. This version is found in all kinds of home kitchen appliances, from air conditioning units to stoves and refrigerators.

Additionally, water-to-water heat exchangers will be the shell and tube heat exchangers. Because of their composition, they may be engineered at a larger scale. Therefore, they are mostly used in plants, such as petroleum refineries or chemical plants. Other less known heat exchangers part of this group are the plate and frame heat exchangers as well as the part arm heat exchangers.

Aluminum finned coil heat exchangers are water to air heat exchangers you will discover in outdoor wood heaters currently. Nearly all people elect to add water to air heat exchangers to their outdoor heater system in order to save money on hot water.

Eventually, it does not matter what style of heat exchanger you decide on for the home, normally request a specialist to assist considering the install.

In addition to traditional brazed plate heat exchangers company manufactures plate heat exchangers based on laser-welded modules. Technical differences from the usual semi collapsible plate heat exchangers is that the package of plates used modules formed by two welded by laser welding heat transfer plates.

The use of welded modules opens up new possibilities in the application of brazed plate heat exchangers (documentation in PDF), primarily as a steam-water heaters with steam temperatures above 150 ° C. In this case, using modules instead of welded high-temperature seals, the phone’s price is reduced by 5-15%. The decrease in the contact high temperature environments with seals is reduced by 90% and the cost of a full set of seals in the heat exchanger (if necessary, replacement) is reduced in 2 – 3 times depending on the type of seals.

In many cases (eg, the application of aggressive media, or marginal production parameters) in the case of a fully gasketed PHE has not yet been able to find the optimal design of heat exchanger, since the boundaries of its application is largely determined by material seals. With the development of welded modules, new opportunities, taking into account the manufacturing process in conjunction with the requirements of environmental protection and safety. Along with these replacement seals in contact with aggressive media and environments to limit the parameters of the seams, significantly increases the reliability and safety of heat exchanger.

Also, this series of heat exchangers, keeps all the advantages of a fully gasketed plate heat exchangers and can be used in refrigeration equipment for freon and ammonia, as well as in technological processes for heating and cooling of aggressive media in chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, metallurgical, machinery and many other industries where required to provide enhanced security.

Brazed plate heat exchangers are used in cases where the installation of prefabricated plate heat exchangers is not possible or desirable. Brazed heat exchangers have a wider range of operating temperatures and pressures.

Brazed plate heat exchangers for many years been successfully applied in various industries. Technology of brazed heat exchangers continuously improved since their introduction. A wide range of brazed plate heat exchangers offered by Brazetek , a wide range of accessories and a variety of types of connections extend their range of applications and facilitate the design of new facilities.

High quality brazed plate heat exchangers Brazetek ensures reliability project customers.

Construction and operation

Plates brazed plate heat exchangers are made of stainless steel or steel and 254 SMO have corrugated surface – V-shaped corrugations. During the assembly of plates in the package, each successive plate is rotated relative to the previous of 180 °. Are formed flow channels that are alternatively filled by moving in a counter – heat exchange environments. Assembled package plates soldered copper or nickel in the thermal vacuum furnace. It guarantees complete sealing of heat exchanger and reliable separation flows. The absence of seals can reach high values of operating pressures and temperatures.

Corrugated surface of the plates forming channels contribute significantly turbulence  flows, which determines the high efficiency of heat transfer even at low flow rates. Most turbulence also causes a pronounced effect of self-cleaning heat transfer surfaces.

In the process of heat transfer involved virtually the entire surface of brazed plate heat exchangers, so they are extremely compact and cost efficient.

Each brazed plate heat exchanger is a four-step quality control. Manufacturing of heat exchangers by using modern technologies, in full accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001, as well as all international standards, guidelines and classifications, such as CE / PED, UL, CSA, ASME, KIWA and GOST-R.
