Brazed Heat Exchangers: Advantages & Applications

Advantages & Applications | Specifications Brazed Heat Exchanger
  • High Efficiency
    The embossed pattern of the heat transfer plates promotes high turbulence at low fluid velocities. The high turbulence results in very high heat transfer coefficients.
  • Compact Size
    The WCR brazed heat exchanger can be anywhere from 50% to 80% smaller than other types of heat exchangers. It requires less floor space due to the high thermal efficiency of the stainless steel. The plates are brazed together at high temperatures, allowing the heat exchanger to be compact, leak tight, and rugged.
  • Close Approach Temperatures
    Close-approach temperatures of 1-2°F (0.5-1.0°C) are possible because of true counter flow and high heat transfer efficiency of the plates.  This is an important factor in regeneration and heat recovery processes.
  • High Temperature and Pressure Ratings
    Maximum working pressures from 300 psi to 650 psi, and temperature ratings of 350°F.
