An Efficient and Compact Solution for Heat Transfer
Plate heat exchangers are devices that allow heat exchange between hot and cold fluids without mixing. Heat-resistant metal plates, such as stainless steel, with specially designed channels, force the fluids to flow turbulently, ensuring maximum efficiency in heat transfer.
Main Features:
-
High heat transfer efficiency
-
Compact design
-
Easy assembly, disassembly, and maintenance
-
Capacity can be increased thanks to modular design
Where Are They Used?
They are widely used in HVAC systems, the food industry, chemical plants, power plants, and many other fields.
What Is a Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger?
A maintenance-free, long-lasting solution.
Brazed plate heat exchangers (BPHE) are manufactured by joining plate packs in a vacuum, typically using copper. Since brazing is used instead of gaskets, they are more compact, leak-proof, and resistant to high pressure.
Advantages:
-
No gaskets required
-
Occupies less space
-
Low maintenance needs
-
Suitable for high temperature and pressure
Applications:
Heat pumps, chiller systems, boiler circuits, solar energy systems, compressor oil coolers, and process industries.
Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers
This type of heat exchanger, which ensures sealing through gaskets, offers easy maintenance and flexible usage. The gaskets between the plates direct the fluids and prevent them from mixing. When necessary, capacity can be increased or reduced by adding or removing plates.
Advantages:
-
Plates can be easily removed and cleaned
-
Quickly adapts to capacity changes
-
Provides solutions suitable for different temperature and pressure conditions depending on gasket type
Applications:
Food and beverage production, HVAC systems, process cooling, and industrial heating applications.
