Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger For Solar Hot Water Heating

One of the most important factors in determining the viability of a solar heater is its heat transfer efficiency. In simple terms, a good solar heater is one, which is able to transfer maximum amount of heat from the captured sunlight to the inner loop. A brazed plate heat exchanger is ideally suited for this purpose since it occupies much less space, is far more efficient and cost effective than other types of heat exchangers and is easy to maintain and clean.

Brazed plate heat exchangers in combination with domestic solar panels can be used for:

1. Supplying hot water

2. Heating radiant floors

3. Heating radiant walls

4. Heating water in swimming pools and spas

In all of these applications, solar energy is trapped by a solar panel that transfers the heat to the outer loop. This heat is then collected by a brazed plate heat exchanger where heat is transferred from the outer loop (from the panel) to the inner loop. The heated liquid of the inner loop can now be circulated through a water heater to heat water for domestic supply or passed through radiant walls and/or floors for domestic heating or passed through a swimming pool or spa for heating the water. It is important to notice, however, that for chlorinated water, ST series shell & tube swimming pool heat exchangers should be used, as they do not contain copper, which is known to corrode in chlorinated environments.

Brazed plate heat exchangers can easily handle high temperatures and pressures associated with the latest solar system designs and also keep the domestic water loop in complete isolation with the solar loop. This ensures complete safety of the system as well as long life.
