Brazed Heat Exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that consists of thin corrugated metal plates that are joined using the brazing process (high-temperature soldering, using copper or nickel materials).
Main Advantages
- High Efficiency: The corrugated plate design creates high turbulence flow, maximizing heat transfer despite its compact size.
- Compact & Lightweight Design: Compared to conventional Shell and Tube heat exchangers, BHE requires much less installation space.
- High Pressure & Temperature Resistance: Because it is fully joined by brazing, this device does not use rubber gaskets, making it resistant to leaks at extreme pressures/temperatures.
- Minimal Maintenance: The turbulent flow design inside helps reduce the risk of fouling.
Brazed Heat Exchanger is widely used in various industrial and commercial applications, such as:
- HVAC & Refrigeration Systems: As an evaporator or condenser.
- Heat Pump: Electric/Solar water heater.
- Manufacturing Industry: Hydraulic oil cooler in industrial machines.
- District Heating/Boiler System: Separator of local and central heating circuits.
