CHALLENGE EFFICIENCY INDUSTRIAL HEAT TRANSFER SOLUTIONS

OUR BPHE CONCEPT The compact Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger (BPHE) is constructed as a plate package of corrugated channel plates with a filler material between each plate. During the vacuum-brazing process, the filler material forms a brazed joint at every contact point between the plates, creating complex channels. The BPHE allows media at different temperatures to come into close proximity, separated only by channel plates that enable heat from one media to be transferred to the other with very high efficiency. The concept is similar to the older plate and frame technology, but without the...

BENEFITS Our experience and expertise have been gained all over the world across a wide range of applications in many different climates. We aim to maximize the performance and at the same time minimize the amount of material used. This has environmental benefits, keeps costs down and reduces exposure when material prices increase. Other benefits of our BPHEs include: Tailored: Optimized and customized Performance: Reliable, energy-efficient and cost-effective Economical: Optimal material usage Versatile: Cover a wide range of cooling and heating capacities Competitive: Save space compared...

OUR BPHES ARE SUPERIOR Products • We have the widest range of BPHEs in the world. High-quality products and services • • • We have ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 approval. We use SPC (Statistical Process Control) in all steps of our production. We offer full traceability using the unique serial number on each unit, which enables us to trace the unit to its raw material, press line and tools, furnace and pressure test equipment. We thoroughly investigate claims, and the result whether it is a line or field failure is always taken seriously. The results of claims are monitored and followed up...

all new product development to optimize performance and material utilization. We produce tools in-house, because we know that a few hundredths of a millimeter makes a difference to the product's strength. We have our own laboratory for one- and two-phase applications. We have several patented designs and solutions such as true dual, double wall and air dryer. Our dedicated innovation team constantly pushes the limit. We verify all new products in our heat transfer laboratory before they are released to the market. Our calculation software is continuously updated with the latest laboratory...

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS Our BPHEs are robust, compact, cost-effective and reliable over long periods with minimal maintenance – all vital qualities in industrial applications. We bring immense international experience to this area, which includes cooling for oil, laser and electronic systems. Our BPHEs are also suitable for fuel oil heating and highly efficient cogeneration (CHP) systems. The BPHE's flexible design and the ability to customize both the plate and brazing materials frequently mean unbeatable performance compared with conventional heat exchangers. Oil cooling Our wide range of...

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS Laser and electronics cooling Laser and electronic equipment is often cooled using purified (e.g. deionized) water as a coolant in order to protect sensitive components. Water in this condition can have undesirable effects on cooling systems, but we have a reliable solution. Our nickel-brazed BPHEs meet the strict demands imposed on materials by deionized water. Gas systems Our modular product portfolio offers the opportunity to customize compact Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers for applications like natural gas evaporation/condensation and heat/cooling, as well as...

MANUFACTURING For us, the keys to world-class manufacturing are competence and efficiency. Over the years, we have acquired enormous competence in every aspect of BPHE manufacturing. This is reflected in the recent opening of our new state-of-the-art factory in Suzhou, China, which joins our others in Sweden, Switzerland, the United States, Malaysia and Slovakia. We use Statistical Process Control (SPC) throughout manufacturing to analyze and evaluate the mass of production data and to identify deviations from control values. Alongside SPC, we use Six Sigma to control defects and Lean...

PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT SSP – the soft way to get hard facts You can easily identify the optimal BPHE solution for your application using our dimensioning software, SSP, which handles Single phase, Condenser and Evaporator calculations. Its advanced calculation models use your input data to calculate which BPHE will be most efficient for your application. The software is available for download free of charge (see www.swep.net), and is easy to use thanks to its intuitive user interface. applications: everything from the basics of heat transfer to discussions of specific applications. Quick...

SPECIAL SOLUTIONS SWEP works close to its customers, which has resulted in the creation of a range of special solutions for specific applications. One example is T-reg, a single phase water-towater heat exchanger combined with an electrical heater which is developed for the plastic molding industry. Another fine example of SWEP's ability to develop tailor-made solutions is ADWIS, a very compact air-dryer that combines two BPHEs with an integrated separator in a modular design. ADWIS Refrigerated air dryer systems are commonly used to remove moisture from compressed air. This is necessary to...
