Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers

The thin corrugated stainless steel plates, brazed together with copper form a solid self-contained unit that can handle both high pressures and high temperatures. Unlike traditional heat exchangers, the brazed plate heat exchanger (BHE) consists only of heat transfer surface.

NOTE: The products we provided with Nickel as the brazing material have been replaced by the new fusion bonded AlfaNova.

Features and benefits

• Compact, durable and cost-effective
• High thermal efficiency allows you to reduce the cooling/heating medium to a minimum
• Offers the same performance as the large shell & tube units

Alfa Laval invented the first BHE in the 1970s and has continued to develop the heat exchangers to optimise their performance. Today, we set the standard for brazed heat exchangers worldwide.

Typical uses are

• General heating and cooling duties in the manufacturing industry, i.e. hydraulic oil
• Heating and cooling in HVAC installations
• Evaporation and condensation in refrigeration systems
• Tap water heating and radiator heating
