L-Line Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers
Quality & Unique Fabrication

AIC Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers are available in Single-Wall, Double-Wall, and Multiple-Pass models

Stainless Steel Plates

Brazed plate heat exchangers consist of stainless steel plate packs, which have embossed chevron patterns.

Corrugated Plate Pattern

Special corrugation patterns promotes high turbulence flow. Turbulence dramatically improves heat transfer rates and reduces the amount of deposits inside the unit.

Counter & Co-Current Flow

Corrugated plates are turned 180° to each other, causing the plate ridges to intersect, and creating a lattice of intersecting channels. The fluid can flows counter-current or co-current

Single & Double Wall Plates

Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers come with single wall or double wall plates. Double Wall construction prevents cross contamination of fluid streams if there is an internal leak within the unit.

Single Wall Flow Channel in Heat Exchanger

Single-pass channels are in parallel.

AIC SINGLE WALL BRAZED PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER

High efficiency in compact designed

Brazed plate heat exchangers consist of stainless steel plate packs, which have embossed chevron patterns. The plates are turned 180° to each other, causing the plate ridges to intersect, and creating a lattice of intersecting channels. The fluids can flow in counter-current or co-current way. Special corrugation patterns promotes high turbulence flow. Turbulence dramatically improves heat transfer rates and reduces the amount of deposits inside the unit.

Multi-Pass Flow Channel in Heat Exchanger

Multi-pass channels are divided in groups that are internally connected in series.

AIC SINGLE-WALL, MULTI-PASS BRAZED PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER

Higher efficiency in compact designed

Brazed plate heat exchangers with multi-pass configuration have a number brazed plates grouped together. Groups are then connected in series to each other forming a longer flow-path for fluids. This configutation of plates increases the heat transfer capacity for the same heat exchanger footprint. Pressure drop is also increased in Multi-Pass configurations.

Double Wall Flow Channel in Heat Exchanger

Double Wall channels allow visual leak detection of heat exchangers.

AIC DOUBLE WALL BRAZED PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER

High efficiency in compact designed with leak detection

The design of the double wall brazed plate heat exchanger prevents cross contamination of fluid streams if there is an internal leak within the unit. Two plates are joined together per heat-transfer plate couple, providing isolation and compartmentalization of fluids flowing through the heat exchanger.

Double-Wall Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers

Visual leak detection system.

ADVANTAGE A

Leak Detection

Double Wall Brazed Plate heat exchangers provide a unique leakage pathway between plates that allows fluids to escape from the leaking plates to the outside environtment. Allowing early detection of the leaking condition for the double wall heat exchangers, permitting faster maintenance and lowring down-time.

ADVANTAGE B

Fluid Isolation

Double Wall Brazed Plate heat exchangers prevent cross-contamination of fluids if a leak occurs in the plate walls. Double wall heat exchangers are ideal for compact applications requiring highest isolation of fluids such as potable water heating, food and beverage processing, and hospital applications.
