Brazed Plate and Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers

Product catalog summary
Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers
  • Overview: Lowara Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers are compact, lightweight, and efficient, ideal for residential and light commercial hydronic systems. They are suitable for applications with limited space, such as radiant floors, domestic hot water, pool heating, HVAC, solar heating, district heating, and boilers.
  • Design and Efficiency: These exchangers offer superior thermal efficiency and durability. The corrugated plate design enhances heat transfer, and the stainless steel plates are vacuum brazed for durability, allowing high pressure and temperature operations without maintenance or leaks.
  • Specifications: Constructed with stainless steel 316L plates and copper brazing material, they support up to 50.40 l/sec capacity and 32.52 m2 surface area. Design pressures reach up to 30 Bar, with temperatures ranging from -190°C to 232°C.
  • Mounting and Connections: Options include threaded studs or integral mounting brackets, with connection sizes from 1/2 inch to 4 inch, including NPT, SAE Flanged, and Sweat.
Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers
  • Design Features: These exchangers have a high surface area to volume ratio and superior heat transfer coefficients. They offer true countercurrent flow, maximizing temperature differences between fluids.
  • Material and Construction: Available in various materials like stainless steel, titanium, Hastelloy, and Incolloy, with options for gasketed, semi-welded, double wall, or free flow plates.
  • Applications: Suitable for HVAC, district heating and cooling, heat pumps, thermal storage, and the food and drink industry.
  • Technical Data: Maximum flow rate is 1365 l/sec, with a heat transfer area up to 1858 m2. Frame materials include primed and epoxy-coated carbon steel, with design pressures up to 30 Bar and temperatures from -35°C to 170°C.
  • Design and Maintenance: The modular design allows easy installation and maintenance, with features like studded connections and no need for welding. The unit can be opened or closed without disconnecting piping.

Advanced system offers superior efciency. A combination of chevron-style heat transfer plates sequenced side of a plate and the other uid down the opposite side of between a frame plate and pressure plate. The heat transfer plates have holes at the four corners that form a header, which distributes The plate’s chevron patterns create metal-to-metal contact points the respective uids to the opposite sides of each plate when the between adjacent plates for added strength. This allows differential plates align. The uids are conned to the heat transfer surface of pressures equal to the design pressure....
