Chemical Compatibility
This exchanger uses:
-
Stainless steel plates
-
Copper brazed joints
The copper braze material is the limiting factor. Copper will be attacked by many acidic solutions and oxidizers.
Because of this, copper-brazed plate exchangers are generally used in neutral or mildly corrosive fluids only.
Applications This Heat Exchanger IS Compatible With
HVAC / Mechanical Systems
-
Chilled water loops
-
Hot water heating systems
-
Heat pump systems
-
Boiler heat recovery
-
Hydronic heating loops
These are extremely common applications.
Industrial Cooling Systems
-
Hydraulic oil cooling
-
Machine tool cooling
-
Injection molding cooling loops
-
Gearbox oil cooling
-
Compressor cooling circuits
Typically used with oil-to-water or water-to-water heat exchange.
Refrigeration Systems
-
Condensers
-
Evaporators
-
Intercoolers
-
Sub-coolers
Compatible with refrigerants such as:
-
R134a
-
R410A
-
R404A
-
R507
-
ammonia systems when properly designed
Process Cooling
-
Glycol cooling loops
-
Closed-loop process water
-
Brewery and food process heat exchange
-
Industrial heat recovery
As long as the fluids are non-corrosive to copper.
Applications This Heat Exchanger Is NOT Compatible With
