Brazed Aluminum Plate Fin Heat Exchangers

Brazed aluminum heat exchangers have superior heat transfer capabilities and can be cost effective for non corrosive gases and liquids as compared with traditional shell and tube exchangers.

Brazed aluminum plate fin heat exchangers.

03 16 chart industries pioneered the use of bahx for cryogenic gas processing in the 1950s and we ve produced over 13 000 units since. Brazed aluminum heat exchangers bahx which are mission critical for a wide variety of cryogenic processing applications where reliability and thermal efficiency are paramount. Brazed aluminum plate fin heat exchangers commonly are installed directly inside distillation columns to eliminate costly piping. Comparing to the other type of heat exchangers by enlarged heat transfer area this type of heat exchanger becomes more compact and lighter.

Chart s brazed aluminum heat exchangers also known as a plate fin heat exchanger and cold boxes are at the heart of low temperature natural gas air separation and petrochemical processes worldwide. Brazed plate heat exchanger technology offers significantly higher thermal efficiency than comparable shell and tube models within a much smaller footprint. Even so brazed aluminum exchangers are often not considered because of complicated design equations and complex stacking arrangements. Chart s heritage begins with the adaptation of the product from the aerospace industry in the 1950s.

Brazed aluminium plate fin heat exchangers are very compact exchangers built to a high specification for use in air separation plants and a wide range of other petrochemical and refrigeration applications. Our heat exchangers composes of corrugated fin and separation plate which are stacked and brazed. Among other things this can help you reduce energy consumption increase your heat recovery potential and resolve space and bottleneck issues in your plant. Compact size and versatility are typical features of a brazed aluminum plate fin heat exchanger.
