Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers
Alfa Laval Brazed plate heat exchangers are an economical and compact solution for heating water with steam and cooling water, glycol, and hydraulic oil in food plants. They are not recommended for processing food products as the Brazed heat exchanger cannot be opened for cleaning or inspection.
The brazed heat exchanger heating surface consists of thin corrugated metal plates stacked on top of each other. Channels are formed between the plates and corner ports are arranged so that both Medias flow through alternate channels. The media is kept in the unit by a brazed seal around the edge of the plates. The contact points of the plates are also brazed to withstand the pressures created.
