By: Jonathan Understanding the differences between types of heat exchangers can be a vitally important decision that may greatly affect the performance of your system. Copper Brazed vs. Nickel Brazed Copper is the most common braze material used for heat exchanger plate brazing. Copper brazed models of a plate heat exchanger are commonly used in radiant heating applications, snow melt systems, domestic water, food processing and many other areas. Nickel is a material which is less common and more expensive, but is much more sustainable to acidic liquids, or liquids with higher than normal Ph factor (such as milk, wine, chlorinated water) Types of Steel The most common types of steel used for plate heat exchanger manufacturing is 316L steel and marine grade steel (254SMO). 316L steel is a low-carbon stainless steel with enhanced corrosion resistance properties. This type of material is also the most common for the heat exchangers. Marine grade steel is rare and expensive, and used for applications such as sea water, ionized water, highly chlorinated and highly acidic water. Combinations 1. 316L Stainless Steel + Copper Brazing - The most common type of brazed plate heat exchangers, fits all major applications and is the most cost effective. 2. 316L Stainless Steel + Nickel Brazing - The least common type. Mostly custom manufactured for wineries and milk farms. 3. 254SMO Stainless Steel + Nickel Brazing - Another rare heat exchanger type. It is extremely expensive to manufacture an is used mostly in industrial applications. Applications for Brazetek heat exchangers are nearly endless: 1. Radiant Heating Installation, including snow melt systems, geothermal and solar systems. 2. Outdoor Wood Furnace 3. Swimming pools with controlled chlorine content. 4. Beer, wort and food processing 5. Domestic hot water and many, many more. Before you install: To assure a long life and maintenance- Majority of brazed plate heat exchangers are recommended for installation in vertical position only. Some models are available with mounting studs that will allow to secure the unit safely in place. To eliminate the strain on the supply and return piping, heat exchanger can also be placed on a thick rubber mat. A rubber pad is also recommended during the installation process.
