A Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger (BPHE) is a type of heat exchanger that utilizes a series of thin, corrugated metal plates to facilitate efficient heat transfer between two fluid streams. These plates are stacked together and brazed at their edges to form a strong, leak proof unit. The brazing process creates a tight seal between the plates, allowing the BPHE to withstand high pressure and temperature differentials. Fluids flow through alternate channels formed by the plates, with heat being transferred from one fluid to the other through the thin metal plates.
