The heat exchanger is manufactured in a precisely controlled vacuum-brazing process
that allows the filler material to form a brazed joint at every contact point between the
plates, creating complex channels. The arrangement is similar to older plate and frame
technology, but without gaskets and frame parts.
Water inlet and outlet connections are grooved for compatibility with field supplied ANSI/
AWWA C-606 couplings.
A 20 mesh wye-strainer is provided as standard to provide protection at the evaporator
inlet, particularly at system start-up when construction debris may be present in the piping
system.
The evaporator is equipped with a thermostat-controlled heater. The heater provides
freeze protection for the evaporator down to -20°F (-29°C) ambient. The evaporator is
covered with 3/4” flexible, closed-cell, foam insulation (K=0.25).
A factory-wired flow switch is standard, installed in a pipe section at the outlet of the
evaporator.
