Hydronic Heating Systems by Alfa Laval

The brazed plate heat exchanger is the single most efficient compact plate type heat exchanger in the market. They are used in a wide variety of hydronic heating systems in the hydronics industry ranging from snow-melt of driveways to radiant floor heating, domestic water heating and several other interesting applications.

How the brazed heat exchanger operates:
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 in a 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 the brazed heat exchanger in hydronic applications:

• They have a high temperature/pressure rating. All Alfa Laval brazed heat exchangers have a 437° F and 435 psig rating.
• Footprint size of the heat exchanger is small, permitting a large duty to be done with minimal space
• Brazing creates a strong bond between the plates of the heat exchanger. This eliminates the need for heavy 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 due to them being much more efficient.
