copper free plate heat exchanger

Product catalog summary

Introduction
EJ Bowman (Birmingham) Ltd introduces a new range of copper-free plate heat exchangers designed specifically for use with ethanol-based fuels. These products are part of Bowman's comprehensive range of heat exchangers for engine test bed applications, known for their quality and durability.

Specifications and Features
The new copper-free plate heat exchangers are constructed without copper, eliminating the risk of copper leaching into the fuel, which is a common issue with ethanol fuels. The exchangers are made from high-quality 316 stainless steel and feature a unique design that ensures efficient heat dissipation by maximizing the internal surface area.

Installation and Design
The exchangers are designed for in-line installation, with inlet and outlet ports situated adjacent to each other for a neat setup. This design innovation is an industry first for Bowman, addressing the challenges posed by ethanol in fuels.

Problem and Solution
Traditional plate heat exchangers, often brazed with copper, face issues with ethanol fuels as they can cause copper to leach into the fuel system, leading to performance problems. Bowman responded to this challenge by developing a new construction method that eliminates copper, ensuring safety and efficiency for ethanol-based fuels.

Conclusion
Bowman's copper-free plate heat exchangers provide a safe and efficient solution for cooling or heating ethanol-based fuels, maintaining the company's reputation for high-quality and reliable heat transfer technology.

Stainless steel plate heat exchangers Copper-free Plate Heat Exchanger The problem... Plate heat exchangers have become the ‘industry standard’ for cooling or heating fuel on automotive test bed engines – and Bowman products are some of the most widely used, proven and trusted on the market. In recent times, the introduction of ethanol into fuels has made new demands on these stainless steel heat exchangers. Traditionally they are brazed with copper materials and the problem is that ethanol in fuels attacks copper. Using ethanol in fuels, even in modest amounts, can cause copper to be leached...
