High
Efficiency
The embossed pattern of the heat transfer plates promotes high
turbulence turbulence at low fluid velocities. The high turbulence
results in very high heat transfer coefficients.
Compact
Size
The WCR brazed
plate heat exchanger requires less floor space due to the high
thermal efficiency of the stainless steel plates as compared to
other types of heat exchangers. The plates are brazed together at
high temperatures, allowing the heat exchanger to be compact, leak
tight, and rugged. the WCR brazed heat exchanger can be anywhere
from 50% to 80% smaller than other types of heat exchangers.
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. |
