| The History of Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers | |
Brazed plate heat exchangers had their beginnings in the 1970s. They were a development of the traditional plate and frame heat exchangers and offered size, cost and performance advantages over other types of heat transfer devices. Their rapid acceptance by all areas of industry during the 1980s, quickly established brazed heat exchangers as the fastest growing type heat exchanger. The greater efficiency and size advantage of brazed plate heat exchangers led to their use in water heating, refrigeration, oil cooling and a wide variety of applications. |
