Why WTT Series?
1. Brazed plate heat exchangers are up to 60% smaller than traditional shell & tube and coaxial type devices. This means they use less space and weigh less.
2. Plate heat exchangers have higher heat transfer coefficients for improved performance and greater versatility. Other technical advantages include higher design working pressures; higher and lower design working temperatures; resistance to external frost, freeze and corrosion; and broad Pressure Vessel Code approval.
3. Installed costs of brazed plate heat exchangers are up to 30% less than other types of comparable heat exchangers.
4. The plate design creates two separate channels for a true counter current flow movement. This complex channel system results in high turbulence for greater high heat transfer.
5. WTT Series brazed plate heat exchangers operate with high turbulence flow, even at low flow rates. The high turbulence keeps small particles in suspension, minimizing fouling and scaling while maintaining life-long efficiency.
6. Options include threaded, solder, flange, welding stubs, hose barbs, Victaulic, Rotalok, flare along with other specialized fittings. Mounting stands and supports are available for most sizes, along with hard shell insulation for heating applications.
7.

WTT Series brazed plate heat exchangers are suitable for a variety of single-phase fluid-to-fluid and two-phase refrigerant to fluid applications. They are used by OEMs in new equipment design, engineers in process systems and by contractors for residential, commercial and industrial refrigeration and process applications.

- Fluid-to-Fluid - Refrigerant to liquid
