Fuison-Bonded BPHE (Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger)

Fusion-bonded plate heat exchangers (BPHE) are a type of heat exchanger that consist of multiple plates that are fused together using a thermal bonding process. This creates a compact and efficient heat exchanger that is ideal for a wide range of applications. Fusion-Bonded series (ZL-R series) are 100% stainless steel PHE models. ZL-R models are none copper foil or none nickel foil brazing processed, they are 100% stainless steel material only.(Similar to AlfaNova).

ZL-R models are designed and developed for the market demand where the plate heat exchangers are specifically applied in:

Food Grade required industries: food/beverage/milk/drinking water treatment;

Pharmacy, pharmaceutical factory;

Ammonia;

General cooling and heating applications: evaporators, condensers, desuperheaters, oil coolers, econmizers etc.

The advantage of ZL-R models:

Unique sizing design and customised number of plates for certain applications;

Various size/dimension models available: ZL14R, ZL20AR, ZL20BR, ZL26R, ZL30R, ZL52AR, ZL52BR, ZL95AR, ZL95BR;

High corrosion resistance;

Low refrigerant volume;

Gasket-free;

High temperature resistance;

Take higher pressure than the traditional nickel brazed heat exchanger;

Avaliable for special fluid/media when Copper PHE or Nickel PHE is not suitable to apply under the situations of chemical reactions happen to copper or nickel.

Technical data of ZL-R:

ZL-R model plate material: AISI316/Stainless Steel 316L;

Design pressure: 25 Bar, Test Pressure: 37.5 Bar;

HZL-R (H: High pressure): Desigh pressure: 40 Bar, Test Pressure: 60 Bar;

ZL-R models: ZL14R, ZL20AR, ZL20BR, ZL26R, ZL30R, ZL52AR, ZL52BR, ZL95AR, ZL95BR;

ZL-R connection pipes type: Outside threaded, Inside threaded, Soldering, Welding.

One of the key advantages of fusion-bonded BPHEs is their efficiency. The thermal bonding process creates a strong and tight seal between the plates, resulting in efficient heat transfer between the two fluids. This makes them ideal for applications where high heat transfer rates are required, such as in refrigeration systems, HVAC systems, and industrial processes.

Fusion-bonded BPHEs are also highly durable and require low maintenance. The compact design of the heat exchanger means that it is less prone to mechanical failure, and the use of high-quality materials ensures that it can withstand high temperatures and pressures.

Another advantage of fusion-bonded BPHEs is their flexibility. The modular design of the heat exchanger means that it can be easily customized to meet the specific requirements of the application. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including in the food and beverage industry, where it can be used for pasteurization, sterilization, and cooling applications.

Fusion-bonded BPHEs are also eco-friendly, as they are highly energy-efficient and can be easily recycled. This makes them a sustainable and environmentally responsible choice for businesses and individuals looking to reduce their environmental impact.

Overall, fusion-bonded BPHEs are a highly efficient and versatile heat transfer device that offer a range of benefits over traditional heat exchangers. Their compact design, efficient heat transfer, low maintenance requirements, flexibility, and eco-friendliness make them an excellent choice for a wide range of applications in various industries.
