SWEP brazed plate heat exchangers deliver efficient condensing

High efficiency for HVAC and refrigeration
systems

SWEP brazed plate heat exchangers can be used as condensers, desuperheaters and subcoolers in HVAC and refrigeration systems, where they offer exceptional thermal performance. They efficiently transfer heat from a refrigerant gas to a secondary cooling fluid, transforming hot discharge gas from the compressor into a sub-cooled liquid flow. Waste heat can then be discharged via cooling towers or recovered for another use. Condensing, de-superheating and subcooling can all be performed inside a single heat exchanger, or de-superheating and/or sub-cooling can be performed in a separate heat exchanger.

Desuperheating

To make full use of the high-temperature gas from the compressor (65-90 °C), heat pumps can be equipped with dedicated, single-phase desuperheaters.

Subcooling

The temperature of a refrigerant leaving the condenser is usually below saturation temperature. This subcooling, which represents approximately 2-5% of the total heat transfer, is necessary to avoid flash gas before the expansion valve. A dedicated subcooler can further reduce the temperature of the condensate.

It is time to come clean

The simple solution to scaling and fouling

The highly turbulent flows inside a brazed plate heat exchanger are usually enough to keep it clean. However, in applications with a high risk of fouling or scaling due to high temperatures, hard water, or high pH levels, cleaning in place (CIP), may be necessary to maintain efficiency.
