Abrasive cleaning can be an effective way to remove buildup on a Brazed plate heat exchanger. You can use water jets to loosen the buildup, or you can use an organic acid to remove the contaminants. It is important to use the proper acid for the material used, such as copper or stainless steel, because carbon steel wool may scratch the surface and leave deposits that lead to corrosion. Wear gloves and safety goggles while cleaning the heat exchanger.

The brazed plate heat exchanger is a specialized type of unit that consists of 200 embossed stainless steel plates. Each plate is turned 180 degrees, forming a lattice of contact points. The brazed points help form a pressure-resistant, compact heat exchanger. The channel systems are designed to promote maximum heat transfer while reducing pressure drop. Brazed plate heat exchangers are also highly effective for heating and cooling applications.

The WiseWater Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger is lightweight and compact, featuring stainless steel 316L plates. This brazed plate heat exchanger is brazed using 99.9% copper and features corrugated plates. A highly turbulent flow is created, resulting in improved heat transfer rates. The WiseWater Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger is one of the lightest and most affordable heat transfer options available.

Brazed plate heat exchangers are used extensively in refrigeration plants and other industrial applications. Because they have a small footprint and high-pressure capabilities, they are a good choice for demanding installations. They are commonly used in commercial, industrial, and hydronic settings. If you are considering purchasing one, you can find a complete range of Alfa Laval Copper Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers at Valutech. You can even view visual demonstrations so you can decide on the best option for your needs.

Brazed plate heat exchangers use multiple corrugated steel plates that are vacuum-brazed with copper or nickel. The plates create parallel, non-intersecting channels that allow fluid to flow without making direct contact with any of them. This ensures maximum heat transfer and a minimum amount of deposits on the surface. They can also be used for cooling systems in industrial processes where high temperatures are necessary. This heat exchanger also has an inherent self-cleaning quality due to the high wall friction.

Onda offers a wide range of Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers. They come in single wall, double wall, and ASME coded configurations. For the most demanding applications, consider the BPX(tm) Double Wall Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger, which is manufactured with the highest-quality raw materials. BPX(tm) Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers are able to handle high temperatures and pressures.
