VAU BLOCKBUSTER Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger-1

Design, Construction and Effectiveness… Through a special process, stamped stainless steel plates are vacuum oven brazed using 99.9% pure copper, as the brazing agent. The unique stamping pattern of the stainless steel plates creates the ideal fluid flow path through both the primary and secondary channels for maximum heat transfer. The result: we call it our VAU Blockbuster; an ultra efficient and compact device with an excellent price to performance ratio. The VAU Blockbuster VM Series of Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers is a robust product lineup that provides a compact, ultra efficient heat transfer solution appropriate for all stainless steel/copper-compatible liquid-liquid heat transfer applications, within device specification parameters. 435 psi (30 bar) 383 °F (195 °C) AISI 316L SS (1.4404) Copper EU Declaration of Conformity – Annex VII of Directive 97/23/EC Maximum operating parameters are permissible only under static conditions. Constant and significant changes in pressure and/ or temperature can stress the device and should be avoided.
