Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers (BPHEs) offer a highly compact and efficient solution for a wide range of heating, cooling, and refrigeration duties. By brazing stainless steel plates together in a vacuum furnace, BPHEs create a durable, permanently sealed unit that provides excellent thermal performance in a minimal footprint. Their robust, gasket-free design makes them an ideal choice for applications where reliability and space are critical.
Super Compact Design: A small footprint allows for easy installation in tight spaces, saving valuable plant room real estate.
High Thermal Efficiency: The advanced plate design creates high turbulence, ensuring maximum heat transfer and reducing energy consumption.
Durable & Gasket-Free: The brazed construction creates a robust, sealed unit that can handle high pressures and temperatures without the need for gaskets.
Versatile Applications: An extensive range is available for duties including 2-phase refrigeration, HVAC, Domestic Hot Water (DHW), and various industrial processes.
Fast Delivery: With both international and local stock, we can offer short delivery times to keep your project on schedule.

A BPHE is a permanently sealed unit, making it more compact and suitable for higher pressures and refrigerant duties. In comparison, a gasketed unit is less compact but can be opened for cleaning and servicing.
Yes. While they cannot be mechanically opened, BPHEs can be very effectively cleaned in place (CIP) using specialised chemical solutions to restore performance. Our team provides this service on-site.
They are widely used in HVAC and refrigeration as condensers and evaporators, in domestic hot water (DHW) systems, and for various industrial heating and cooling duties.
These versions are used for applications involving aggressive fluids, ultra-pure water, or high temperatures where standard copper brazing would not be suitable.
To size a BPHE correctly, we need to know the fluid types, temperatures, flow rates, and the required duty (kW). Our engineers can guide you through this process.
