Alfa Laval introduced its first brazed plate heat exchanger
(BHE) in 1977 and has since continuously developed and optimized
its performance and reliability.
Brazing the stainless steel plates together eliminates the need
for gaskets and thick frame plates. The brazing material seals
and holds the plates together at the contact points ensuring
optimal heat transfer efficiency and pressure resistance. The
plate design guarantees the longest possible life.
The design options of the brazed heat exchanger are extensive.
Different plate patterns are available for various duties
and performance specifications. You can choose a standard
configuration BHE, or a unit designed according to your own
specific needs. The choice is entirely yours.
Typical applications
- HVAC heating/cooling
- Refrigerant applications
- Industrial heating/cooling
- Oil cooling
Working principles
The heating surface consists of thin corrugated metal plates
stacked on top of each other. Channels are formed between
the plates and corner ports are arranged so that the two
media flow through alternate channels, usually in countercurrent
flow for the most efficient heat transfer process.
Standard design
The plate pack is covered by cover plates. Connections are
located in the front or rear cover plate. To improve the heat
transfer design, the channel plates are corrugated.
