Copper Brazed Heat Exchanger
Product Overview
Copper brazed heat exchangers are compact, high-efficiency thermal transfer units designed for demanding mechanical and industrial environments. Stainless steel plates are vacuum brazed with copper to create a sealed, gasket-free structure capable of handling high pressure and temperature.
This design delivers excellent heat transfer performance within a compact footprint, making these exchangers widely used in HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, hydraulic oil cooling, heat pumps, and industrial process cooling.
Kinetix FabWorks supplies copper brazed heat exchangers engineered for reliable performance across New Zealand and international industrial sectors.
