Answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the APOLLO Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger used for?
The APOLLO Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger is a general-purpose water-to-water heat exchanger for heat pumps, boilers, chillers, refrigeration, and hydronic systems. It transfers heat between separate circuits without mixing them.
How is a brazed plate heat exchanger different from a gasketed plate exchanger?
The APOLLO model uses fully brazed construction with no gaskets. That means there are no gasket sets to replace as part of routine maintenance, making it a compact option for general water-to-water heat transfer.
What materials are used in this brazed plate heat exchanger?
The body is made from 316L stainless steel and the plates are joined with 99.9% copper braze. Confirm that the construction is compatible with the fluids, temperatures, and operating conditions in your system.
What port sizes and plate counts are available?
The available options include 1-1/4-inch NPT ports on a 5-by-12-inch size, 2-inch NPT ports on a 10-by-20-inch size, and 3-inch flange NPT ports on a 12-by-31-inch size. Plate quantity options are 30, 60, and 100 plates.
How do I size a brazed plate heat exchanger?
Select port size based on the connection and flow requirements, then select plate quantity based on the heat-transfer capacity required by the application. Final sizing should account for the system load, fluids, flow rate, pressure, and temperature; a specialist should confirm the selection.
Can this heat exchanger be used for refrigeration?
The APOLLO Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger is documented for refrigeration applications as well as heat pumps, boilers, chillers, and hydronic systems. Confirm refrigerant, pressure, temperature, flow, and material compatibility with a specialist before ordering.
What pressure and temperature range does it support?
The documented design pressure is up to 435 PSI, with a minimum test pressure of 652 PSI. The documented design temperature range is -256°F to 437°F. Verify the complete operating conditions for your installation before selecting a model.
Does the APOLLO Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger include a manual?
No published manual is currently available for this product. Contact an MBTEK specialist for installation, compatibility, and sizing questions before ordering.
