HEAT EXCHANGERS Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers
Description
Model BPX brazed plate heat exchangers offer the highest level
of thermal efficiency and durability in a compact, low cost unit.
The corrugated plate design provides very high heat transfer
coefficients, resulting in a more compact design. The unit’s
stainless steel plates are vacuum brazed together to form a
durable, integral piece that can withstand high pressure
and temperature.
The BPX heat exchangers offer a compact design compared to
shell and tube exchangers
• 1/6 the size of shell and tube
• 1/5 the weight of shell and tube
• 1/8 the liquid required of shell and tube
• 1/3 to 1/5 of the surface area required
BPX units are ideal for a wide variety
of hydronic applications such as:
• Radiant Floor Heating
• Domestic Water Heating
• Snow MELT Systems
• Swimming Pool Heating
