What is a Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger (BPHE)?

The Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger (BPHE) is one of the most efficient ways to transfer heat from one medium to another. A BPHE consists of corrugated plates combined to create complex channels through which a hot medium and a cold medium can be distributed. The media come into close proximity inside the BPHE without mixing on either side of the corrugated plate, and energy is transferred from one to the other as they flow side-by-side.
