Characteristics
Brazed plate heat exchangers consist of stainless steel plate packs, which have embossed chevron patterns. The plates are turned 180 degrees to each other, causing the plate ridges to intersect and creating a lattice of intersecting channels. Fluids can flow in counter-current and co-current way. The entire construction is nondismountable and scaled together by means of brazing in a special vacuum furnace.
