Brazed Heat Exchangers

Compact solution with high thermal performance

A brazed heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that is generally compact and offers high thermal efficiency. These exchangers are manufactured by melting several metal plates at high temperature using a special brazing material. The brazing creates a leak-proof bond between the plates, ensuring the integration and durability of the exchanger.

Type: Compact brazed heat exchanger

Advantage: High waterproofing and durability

Specialty: Extreme temperatures (-196°C to +200°C)

Main features

  • Brazed construction for a perfect seal
  • Ultra-compact and lightweight design
  • Extended temperature range: -196°C to +200°C
  • Operating pressure up to 45 bar
  • Materials: AISI316L with copper or nickel brazing
  • Standard double conversion on all models
  • Certifications CE, ISO 9001:2015

Recommended applications

Ideal for applications where sealing is paramount and/or where temperatures are very high. A superior replacement for traditional gasketed heat exchangers in refrigeration, heating, hydraulic systems, and critical applications requiring absolute reliability.
