Description

20-Plate 4-1/4"x12" Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger, 1" MPT Ports, 316L Stainless Steel For use with outdoor wood furnaces/boilers, radiant floor heating projects, snowmelt systems, swimming pools, domestic water applications, solar systems, oil cooling and others. Technical Specifications: Type: Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger Plate & Outlets Material: AISI 316L Stainless Steel Brazing Material: 99.9% pure copper Plate Dimensions: 12" long x 4 1/4" wide x 2 1/4 height Weight 7 lbs 11 oz Inlet/Outlet sizes: 1" Male NPT (MPT) threaded, U.S. standard threads Min. operating temperature: -256 F Max. operating temperature: 437 F Max. design pressure: 435 psig Applications: Outdoor wood furnaces/boilers Radiant Floor Heating Plumbing Systems Snowmelt Systems Swimming Pools HVAC and refrigeration systems Solar heating Other liquid to liquid heat transfer applications Features: "Herring bone" plate pattern increases heat transfer area and improves efficiency. Compact design allows for more flexibility in installation. Heavy-gauge top and bottom plates protect the unit from corrosion and accidental damage. Installation: Vertical installaton is recommended to minimize sediment build-up and reduce maintenance. For any type of project, installing a Y-strainer at the heat exchanger inlet is recommended to reduce fouling and extend the lifespan of the unit. Connect the pipes in a manner where liquids move in a counter-flow direction -this will maximize the heat transfer.
