High Efficiency Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers Stainless Steel AISI 316 Plates
BL95B Brazed plate condensers – flow principle
The main components are the same as for the evaporator. The refrigerant enters at top left of the exchanger as
hot gas and starts to condense on the surface of the channels until fully condensed, and is then slightly subcooled.
The process is called "free condensation". In the enclosed condenser picture the light and dark blue arrows show
the location of the brine connections. The refrigerant flows counter current in the opposite channel and is cooled.
The light and dark red arrows indicate the locations of the refrigerant connections.
Standard design
The plate pack is covered by cover plates. Connections are located in the front or rear cover plate. The channel plates
are corrugated to improve heat transfer efficiency and to make them rigid.
