SWEP further extends BPHE offering

SWEDEN: SWEP has further expanded its B4-sized range of brazed plate that exchangers with the new BX4T, targeting VRF, heat pump and condensing unit applications.

The BX4T incorporates X-plates on front and back, which, as well as being active heat transfer plates, provide extra structural stability.

SWEP says that this all-active plate pack maximises the material utilisation of the product, making it a highly competitive choice for demanding applications and narrow temperature approaches.

“The product is small, yet flexible, which makes it a particularly good selection for economizer applications focusing on VRF and heat pumps,” claimed SWEP refrigeration segment manager Stefano Bellada. 

SWEP also claims supreme economiser performance, especially in condensing units with EVI-technology. In addition, the BX4T is also said to be extremely effective in reducing refrigerant hold-up volume and its mechanical design makes it suitable for high pressure refrigerants such as R410A and R32.
