Danfoss, a global leader in supplying components, controls, compressors and solutions for air-conditioning and refrigeration, has introduced the newest extension of its product portfolio, brazed plate heat exchangers.
Danfoss brazed plate heat exchangers are tailored for refrigeration and air conditioning systems, can be customized for specific application requirements, and offer an environmentally responsible solution for a wide range of applications. Each brazed plate heat exchanger is engineered to add value over its lifetime, providing superior performance and cost-effectiveness.
Each brazed plate heat exchanger consists of a series of thin, corrugated metal plates that are brazed together to improve heat transfer efficiency. The plates are compressed together in a rigid frame to create an arrangement of parallel flow channels, in which one high-viscosity fluid travels through the odd-numbered channels, and the other high-viscosity fluid flows through the even.
“We are continuously striving to develop and provide environmentally friendly and energy-efficient products,” says Peter J. D’Ambrosio, strategic global marketing manager-heat transfer, Danfoss Inc. “Our brazed plate heat exchangers are space-saving, offer a highly flexible design for manufacturing, and require less use of refrigerants.”
“With our entire range of heat exchangers, we offer our customers an opportunity to define both the capacity and connections they need for their specific application,” D’Ambrosio says. “As an added benefit to the customization options, the brazed plate heat exchangers, because of their high heat transfer performance, contribute to an increase in overall cooling capacity. This not only reduces energy consumption, but it provides the best value over the longest period of time as well.”
Danfoss offers 15 brazed plate heat exchanger models. Each model is compactly designed and combines high efficiency with energy saving qualities.
Model B3-048 is designed with a special patent of different corrugation depth on the same plate. With a capacity of 30 – 80 kW, this model allows a larger water flow rate, lower pressure rate drop and lower refrigerant charge. Model B3-260 is the ideal choice for HVAC and chillers, while Danfoss makes 10 different models for boilers and chillers. And, for air driers and chillers, Danfoss recommends models B3-014, B3-027 and B3-136. The entire range of brazed plate heat exchangers can also be used for heat pumps, economizers, de-superheaters and numerous other applications.
Danfoss brazed plate heat exchangers perfectly fit applications in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical process industries, in indirect and direct air compressors, and in commercial refrigeration applications such as supermarket systems, ice making machines, beverage, beer cooling and more.
