Air cross BPHE

The BAODE AIR CROSS gas-to-liquid heat exchanger is an advanced thermal management solution specifically designed to optimize heat exchange between gases and liquids. This type of heat exchanger delivers superior efficiency while maintaining minimal pressure drop, making it ideal for handling gas media in applications where maintaining system performance and energy efficiency is crucial.

AIR CROSS heat exchangers are designed for compactness, easy installation, and minimal maintenance, ensuring long-term operational reliability. Thanks to its brazed construction and asymmetric channel design, the AIR CROSS unit achieves optimal heat transfer with enhanced resistance to high pressures. These heat exchangers can also be modularly configured to meet the demands of larger systems, providing versatile solutions for a wide range of industries.

How the AIR CROSS Heat Exchanger Works

The gas-to-liquid heat exchanger operates on the principle of cross-flow heat transfer, where gas and liquid streams flow perpendicular to each other. The asymmetric channel design ensures that gas flows with minimal resistance, keeping the pressure drop on the gas side as low as possible. This design also enables efficient thermal exchange, even in compact systems.

The heat exchanger is constructed from corrugated stainless-steel plates that create multiple parallel channels. Gas flows through one set of channels, while the liquid passes through the adjacent ones. The brazing material—typically copper or nickel—holds the plates together, ensuring a leak-proof and pressure-resistant unit. This brazed construction eliminates the need for gaskets, resulting in a durable and low-maintenance system.

Applications of AIR CROSS Heat Exchangers

AIR CROSS heat exchangers are ideal for several industrial and commercial applications, including:

• Exhaust Gas Heat Recovery: Recovering waste heat from exhaust gases in industrial processes to improve energy efficiency.
• Compressed Air Cooling: Cooling compressed air in industrial systems, enhancing equipment performance and preventing overheating.
• Charge Air Cooling: Ensuring optimal temperatures for air entering combustion engines, improving engine performance and fuel efficiency.
• Condensers: Using air cross heat exchangers in condensers for cooling and condensing vapors in refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

These versatile applications make AIR CROSS heat exchangers critical in industries like HVAC, automotive, energy production, manufacturing, and chemical processing.

   The plates are brazed together with copper or nickel, creating a leak-proof, pressure-resistant structure. This brazed design not only ensures reliable heat transfer but also eliminates the need for gaskets, reducing the risk of leaks and fouling.

2. Asymmetric Channel Design
   The channels on the gas side are larger, which minimizes pressure drop, while the channels on the liquid side are optimized for turbulent flow to maximize heat exchange. This asymmetric design achieves high performance without increasing system resistance.

3. Cross-Flow Arrangement
   The gas and liquid streams flow perpendicular to each other, ensuring continuous heat exchange and efficient thermal management.

4. Modular System Configuration
   Multiple units can be combined into a modular system to handle higher gas volumes or meet the demands of larger processes. This flexibility allows easy scalability and adaptation to evolving operational requirements.
