High Thermal Conductivity Copper Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger Use In Automotive and Transportation Applications

Automotive and Transportation: Brazed plate heat exchangers are utilized in automotive and transportation applications, including engine cooling, oil cooling, and air conditioning systems.

A copper plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that utilizes copper plates as the primary heat transfer surface. It consists of a series of parallel copper plates, typically arranged in alternating layers, with fluid channels in between. The copper plates are sealed together, and the fluid flows through the channels, allowing for efficient heat transfer between the fluids.

Copper Plates: The plates are made of copper due to its excellent thermal conductivity. Copper is chosen for its ability to facilitate efficient heat transfer between the fluids.

Gaskets: Gaskets are placed between the copper plates to ensure proper sealing and prevent fluid leakage. The gaskets are typically made of materials like rubber or elastomers that can withstand the operating conditions and provide a reliable seal.

Frame or Pressure Plate: The plates and gaskets are held together by a frame or pressure plate, which applies pressure to maintain a tight seal between the plates.

Inlet and Outlet Ports: The heat exchanger has inlet and outlet ports for the entry and exit of the fluids being heated or cooled. These ports allow for the flow of fluids through the channels between the plates.

Channel Configuration: The channels between the copper plates form the flow paths for the fluids. The channel configuration can vary depending on the specific design and intended application of the heat exchanger. Common configurations include parallel flow, counterflow, and crossflow.

Copper plate heat exchangers offer advantages such as high thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, compactness, and versatility. They are used in various industries and applications, including HVAC systems, refrigeration, chemical processing, power generation, and food processing, to facilitate efficient heat exchange between fluids.
