The B-Plate plate-type heat exchangers are made of stainless steel W 1.4401 (AISI316) or W 1.4547 (SMO254).

The plates are brazed to form the heat exchanger in a vacuum furnace at a temperature of 1,150°C. A very thin brazing foil of copper or nickel combines the plates into a pressure-tight heat exchange unit.

Brazed heat exchangers are subject to the general Pressure Vessel Regulations and are subjected to extensive pressure and leak tests at the end of production.

Two plate pairs each form one plate channel, primary and secondary, which are separate of each other. Through the connecting plate, the two media, flowing in opposite directions, enter the plate channels via the distributor, where heat exchange occursithout mixing of the two media.

A variety of useful accessories for all BPlate heat exchangers, from screw unions to heat and cold insulation, complement the supply range.
