SWEP Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger (BPHE)
Compact and high-efficiency brazed plate heat exchangers for refrigeration, HVAC, heat pump, chiller and industrial cooling applications.
SWEP BPHE Evaporator Condenser Industrial Heat TransferSWEP Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers
SWEP Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers (BPHE) provide compact and highly efficient heat transfer solutions for a wide range of refrigeration, HVAC and industrial applications.
A BPHE consists of specially designed corrugated plates brazed together to form separate internal flow channels. Hot and cold media pass through alternating channels without mixing, allowing heat to transfer efficiently through the plate surfaces.
Depending on the selected SWEP model and configuration, BPHEs can be optimized for evaporation, condensation, economizer duty, single-phase heating and cooling, heat pumps, chillers and industrial cooling systems.
Why Choose SWEP BPHE?
SWEP BPHE Type & Application Guide
SWEP has developed different BPHE concepts for different operating conditions. The following are the main types shown in our product guide:
| Type | Main Characteristic | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| B-Type | SWEP's original BPHE concept featuring flexible plate geometry and a modular design. | General heat transfer duties including heating, cooling and application-dependent refrigeration duties. |
| V-Type | Developed from the B-Type and optimized for improved refrigerant distribution during evaporation. | Refrigeration, air-conditioning, chiller and heat-pump evaporators. |
| P-Type | Evaporator concept developed from the V-Type with application-specific refrigerant optimization. | Selected heat-pump and chiller evaporator applications. |
| S-Type | V-Type-derived evaporator concept optimized for specific refrigerant and operating requirements. | Heat-pump and chiller evaporator applications. |
| VH-Type | High-performance evaporator concept developed from the V-Type. | Chiller and heat-pump applications requiring optimized evaporation. |
| QA-Type | Special evaporator concept incorporating refrigerant distribution technology for stable evaporation. | Selected heat-pump evaporator applications. |
| QB-Type | High-performance evaporator concept designed for higher heat-flux conditions than the QA concept. | Selected heat-pump and high-performance evaporator applications. |

Typical SWEP BPHE Applications
How a SWEP Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger Works
A SWEP BPHE contains a stack of corrugated channel plates. During vacuum brazing, the filler material creates strong brazed joints at the contact points between the plates.
This construction creates two separate internal circuits. The hot and cold media travel through alternating channels and remain physically separated while thermal energy transfers through the stainless-steel plate surfaces.
Selecting the Correct SWEP BPHE
SWEP BPHE selection should be based on the actual system operating conditions rather than simply matching the physical connection size. Important information includes:
- Required heating or cooling capacity
- Evaporator, condenser or single-phase application
- Refrigerant or secondary fluid
- Entering and leaving temperatures
- Flow rate
- Evaporating or condensing temperature
- Allowable pressure drop
- Design pressure and temperature
- Required connection type and size
