Brazed plate heat exchangers are an excellent fit for CO₂ applications, particularly in eco-friendly systems.
Here are some notable benefits and considerations:
- Brazed plate heat exchangers ensure stable thermal performance, which is critical for CO₂ systems operating under various conditions.
- Their compact size is ideal for space-limited environments, such as supermarkets and industrial settings.
- BPHEs can manage high-pressure CO₂ applications, making them suitable for transcritical CO₂ systems.
- These heat exchangers deliver energy savings and reliability, reducing operational costs.
- With no gaskets to replace, they require less maintenance, lowering overall costs.
- CO₂ is a non-toxic and non-flammable refrigerant, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Brazed plate heat exchangers (BPHEs) can be effectively used with steam, offering several advantages over traditional shell-and-tube heat exchangers.
