What are brazed plate heat exchangers? A brazed plate heat exchanger is a highly efficient, compact, and versatile liquid to liquid heat exchangers used for transferring heat between two fluids. It consists of a series of thin, corrugated plates that are stacked and brazed together using a copper or nickel alloy. A brazed plate heat exchanger (BPHE) is also known as a brazed heat exchanger.
Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers can be used for a range of functions in a heating or cooling system – they can act as condensers, evaporators, oil or gas coolers, and be used for other functions that involve the transfer of heating or cooling. BPHEs are widely used in a range of applications such as HVAC, refrigeration, industrial processes, electric vehicles (EV) and renewable energy systems, etc.

Other advantages of HFM brazed plate heat exchanger include:
Compact- Our brazed plate heat exchanger are extremely compact compared with other technologies. The carbon footprint can be as little as 10% of that of a shell and tube heat exchanger or half that of a gasket plate heat exchanger.
- Efficient
- With no need for gaskets or supporting equipment, about 95% of the brazed plate heat exchanger material is used to transfer heat. The highly turbulent flow also enables you to use small temperature differences efficiently.
- Reliable
- The robust construction of brazed plate heat exchanger requires no gaskets, eliminating their risk of leaking. This means stable thermal and hydraulic performance, with minimal maintenance and operational downtime. At HFM, we strictly adhere to the highest standards of quality and safety, ensuring all of our products meet the rigorous requirements of GRG, FDA, and SGS certifications.
- Flexible
- The brazed plate heat exchanger’s compact size uses space efficiently and makes the system design more flexible. Larger installations can be constructed unit by unit via standard doors and elevators, and it is easy to expand capacity when demand increases.
- Cost-effective
- You will save on energy, maintenance, spare parts, and installation. The life-cycle cost over 15-20 years can often be half that of a corresponding gasket solution.
- Self-cleaning
- Our brazed plate heat exchanger are normally self-cleaning, thanks to highly turbulent flows. In applications with a high risk of fouling or scaling, Cleaning in Place is easy without disassembly. Read more about plate heat exchanger cleaning.
- Customized
- By combining plate design, materials, and connections from standard components, we keep lead times short while still maximizing output in your specific application. Fill out our Specification Form below to fulfill your requirement now!
