Fortunately wessels has produced a few easy to use charts for sizing wespac brazed plate heat exchangers based on use case scenarios like radiant floor.
Brazed plate heat exchanger piping diagram.
Plate heat exchangers how they work and where they are used.
Piping attached to cover plate nozzles of the spiral units is furnished with break flanges.
A plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that uses metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids this has a major advantage over a conventional heat exchanger in that the fluids are exposed to a much larger surface area because the fluids are spread out over the plates.
The flat plate heat exchanger also simply called a plate heat exchanger or a plate and frame heat exchanger has both advantages and disadvantages compared to the widely shell and tube heat exchangers.
A flat plate heat exchanger uses a metal heat exchanger plate between the two fluids to achieve a higher overall heat transfer coefficient than either a shell and tube heat exchanger or a.
Medium is thus surrounded by the cold medium to prevent heat loss.

The internals of heat exchangers requires periodic cleaning and repair.

Piping is elevated similar to shell tube exchanger.
Rather than using an adjustable design with replaceable plates like the wesplate these brazed plate heat exchangers cannot be modified so correctly sizing a unit is very important.
This facilitates the transfer of heat and greatly increases the speed of the temperature change.
