our brazed heat exchangers are the single most efficient compact plate type heat exchanger in the market. They are used in a wide variety of heating systems ranging from snow melting systems to radiant floor heating, domestic water heating and several other innovative applications. Heating is a matter of providing comfort in an indoor environment, i.e., at home, at work or in a public building. This can also involve outdoor applications from swimming pools, greenhouses to snow melting systems for driveways. Whether for residential heating, district heating, HVAC cooling or district cooling our brazed plate heat exchangers have a major role to play.
How Brazed Heat Exchangers Operate
The flow pattern of the brazed heat exchanger is similar to any other plate heat
exchanger. The compressed plate pack creates a continuous series of channels. The plate and porthole arrangements permit the two heat-transfer media to travel in alternate channels ina counter flow manner.
The efficiency of these heat exchangers is high due to the turbulent flow patterns of the fluids through the channels. This allows for a very close temperature approach of 2-3° F resulting in economic heat extraction.

Advantages of brazed heat exchangers in hydronic applications:
- They have a high temperature/pressure rating. All Alfa Laval brazed heat exchangers have a 437° F and 435 psi rating.
- Footprint size of the heat exchanger is small, permitting a large duty to be done with minimal F space
- Brazing creates a strong bond between the plates of the heat exchanger. This eliminates the need forheavy frames to keep the plates together resulting in a lightweight unit.
- Complete range of hydronic heat exchangers available in stock for immediate delivery
- The brazed heat exchanger is a lower cost alternative to the conventional Shell & Tube heat exchangers.
Applications
- Apartment Buildings
- Condominiums
- Residential Heating
- Hybrid Systems
- Air Conditioning
