Brazed plate heat exchangers
compact and cost-efficient
The first Alfa Laval brazed plate heat exchangers (BHEs) were developed in the seventies.
Today they are well-established components in refrigeration systems due to their
compactness, durable designs, ease of installation and cost efficient operation.
