Bell & Gossett BPX Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers offer the highest thermal efficiency and durability in a compact, low-cost unit. Their corrugated plate design provides very high heat transfer coefficients, resulting in a more compact design. In addition, the unit’s stainless steel plates are vacuum brazed together to form a durable, integral piece that can withstand high pressure and temperature.
BPX heat exchangers are available in many different model sizes ranging from 1/4" to 4" port sizes. They are ideal for industrial oil cooling, refrigerant evaporators and condensers, and residential and light commercial HVAC hydronic systems. They are available with copper or optional corrosion-resistant nickel braze material. Double-wall models and ASME code options are also available.
Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger Features:
- Compact design: 1/6 the size, 1/5 the weight, 1/8 the liquid volume, and 1/3 to 1/5 the surface area of conventional shell & tube heat exchangers
- True double-wall construction, including port regions
- Double wall plate design with unique air vent leak paths
- Complete peripheral braze for additional strength
- Four dedicated leak ports for quick and easy leak detection
- Excellent performance for domestic and potable water applications
