Xylem Inc., has announced the addition of four new Bell & Gossett
BPX brazed plate heat exchangers to its popular line of large plate
heat exchangers. The 3” and 4” brazed plate heat exchangers, models
BP432, BP433, BP434, and BP435, are ideal for large hydronic heating
applications, refrigerant evaporators, condensers with large chillers
and many other applications requiring flow rates up to 800GPM.
Engineered to offer the highest level of thermal efficiency in a
compact, low cost unit, the innovative corrugated plate design provides
very high heat transfer coefficients. The Bell & Gossett BPX brazed
plate heat exchangers use stainless steel plates and are vacuum brazed
together to form a durable product that withstands both high pressure
and high temperature.
All four models have a design pressure of 435 psig, min/max design temperature of 310/450o
F, lifting lugs, and support/mounting feet. Additionally, all models
are designed in accordance with ASME Section VIII, div. 1 and include a
“U” stamp as a standard offering.
The BPX brazed plate heat exchangers provide high rates of heat
transfer, which requires less surface area than conventional shell and
tube exchangers. Other advantages of the BPX heat exchangers versus
conventional shell and tube units include:
-
One-sixth the size
-
One-fifth the weight
-
Uses only one-eighth the liquid
-
Requires one-third to one-fifth the surface area
The new models are available for selection and pricing in the System Syzer® selection and configuration software.
