The Compact Brazed Heat Exchanger (CBE) allows media at different temperatures to
come into close proximity, separated only by channel plates that enable heat from one
media to be transferred to the other with very high efficiency. The concept is similar to the
older plate and frame technology, but without the gaskets and frame parts.
Our accessories meet the same high standards as our CBEs because they are produced to our specification by rigorously selected manufacturers. The high-quality materials are carefully chosen for compatibility, while the accurate dimensions save you time and money on installation. With our accessories you have the assurance that everything will fit and perform the way the design engineers intended. The comprehensive range includes flanges, stud bolts, support legs and insulation, as well as CIP (Cleaning in place) kits that allow a CBE to be cleaned quickly and economically without removing it from the system.
When you need mechanical support for one of our heat exchangers, we have tailor-made support legs available. Each kit comes correctly sized and complete with sturdy legs and all fixings, ready for use on site. For the speed and convenience of right-first-time assembly, our support leg kits cannot be beaten.
HVAC insulation boxes have been developed mainly for use in heating applications at up to 130°C, and are available for most CBEs. Fitting the insulation box to the CBE is quick and easy.
Compac counter flanges have been developed to fit our CBE range perfectly, and are available for most DN flange sizes used for our CBEs.
CIP Cleaning unit
Flows in CBEs are normally highly turbulent, which means the channels are self-cleaning. However, in some applications the fouling tendency can be very high, e.g. when using extremely hard water at high temperatures. In such cases it is always possible to clean the heat exchanger by circulating a cleaning liquid (CIP - Cleaning In Place). Use a tank with weak acid (5% phosphoric acid or, if the heat exchanger is cleaned frequently, 5% oxalic acid). Pump the cleaning liquid through the heat exchanger.
