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.
