A new plate heat exchanger for heat-pump cooling and heating reportedly delivers about three times the heat-transfer performance of conventional models. By using fewer plate layers, it reduces the refrigerant charge to roughly one-third of typical levels, potentially lowering refrigerant costs and environmental impact.

Which applications do you think would benefit most from a high-performance, low-charge heat exchanger, and what challenges (such as pressure drop or fouling) would you want to evaluate before adopting it?

New plate heat exchanger significantly reduces refrigerant requirements

This company has developed a new plate heat exchanger for heat-pump cooling and heating equipment with a heat-transfer performance that it reportedly triple that of conventional models. Specifically, the new heat exchanger reduces the number of plate layers, allowing the refrigerant charge to be reduced to approximately one-third that of conventional levels, resulting in lower […]
