BPX DUAL CIRCUIT BPX Dual Circuit braze plate exchangers offer true two independent refrigerant circuit performance. The special designed plate configuration allows for two separate refrigerant circuits to operate with one common process circuit. The specially designed plate configuration allows for each refrigerant circuit to be in contact with all process flow channels even at a partial load condition (i.e. one compressor running). BPX DUAL CIRCUIT PROVIDES • True dual circuit construction for operation with two independent refrigerant circuits. • Facilitates operation at partial load...

BPX Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers HIGH PERFORMANCE BPX brazed plate heat exchangers offer the highest level of thermal efficiency and durability in a compact, low-cost unit. COMPACT DESIGN The corrugated plate design provides very high heat transfer coefficients, resulting in a smaller surface area. This makes the BPX an excellent choice; especially where space is a consideration. SOLID SELF-CONTAINED UNIT Thin corrugated stainless steel plates are vacuum brazed together to form a very durable, integral piece that can withstand both high pressure and high temperature. NUMEROUS...
