Shanghai Jiangxing supplies brazed plate heat exchangers (BPHE) from China — compact copper-brazed and nickel-brazed units for refrigeration, HVAC and industrial duties, with the certification route confirmed per order.
Why Source Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers from a China Supplier?
Sourcing brazed plate heat exchangers (BPHEs) from a specialized China supplier like Shanghai Jiangxing provides major advantages in cost and availability. As a direct manufacturer, we offer wholesale pricing for bulk orders, ideal for OEM clients and distributors. Our modern production facilities ensure high quality and large capacity, while our Shanghai location is a global logistics hub, simplifying worldwide shipping and export.
What are brazed plate heat exchangers made of?
A brazed plate heat exchanger consists of a pack of corrugated stainless steel plates (typically AISI 316L) that are vacuum-brazed together. Most models use copper as the brazing material, which is suitable for water, glycols, and many refrigerants. For applications where copper is not compatible, such as those involving ammonia or deionized water, we supply nickel-brazed units for enhanced chemical resistance.
What are the primary applications for BPHEs?
Due to their high efficiency and compact size, BPHEs are widely used in several industries. Their most common applications are as evaporators and condensers in air conditioning and refrigeration systems (chillers). They are also used for domestic hot water production, in radiant floor heating systems, and for oil cooling in hydraulic systems. Their robust, gasket-free design keeps routine maintenance low, although fouling still has to be managed by chemical cleaning.
How to ensure quality from a Chinese BPHE supplier?
When selecting a supplier, it is essential to verify their quality control processes. Shanghai Jiangxing performs helium leak testing on 100% of our BPHE units to ensure integrity. Units are manufactured under a documented quality management system; PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) certification for export to Europe is an order-specific route that must be specified in the enquiry and confirmed in writing. We recommend requesting documentation and evidence of a proven track record, which we are happy to provide.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between copper-brazed and nickel-brazed units?
Copper-brazed BPHEs are the industry standard for most HVAC, refrigeration, and water heating applications. Nickel-brazed units offer superior corrosion resistance and are specifically required for applications involving fluids that are aggressive to copper, such as ammonia-based refrigerants or high-purity deionized water.
Can you export brazed plate heat exchangers to my country?
Yes. Shanghai Jiangxing exports brazed plate heat exchangers worldwide and manages the shipping documentation. Which certificates accompany the shipment — including any PED documentation — depends on the certification route agreed and is confirmed in writing for the order.
What is the maximum pressure and temperature for your BPHEs?
Our standard copper-brazed models are typically rated for pressures up to 30 bar (435 psi), while high-pressure models can go up to 45 bar. Nickel-brazed models have slightly different ratings. The standard operating temperature range is -196°C to +200°C. We provide a detailed datasheet for each model.
Do you offer technical support for selecting the right model?
Absolutely. Our engineers can help you select the correct BPHE model for your application. By providing us with your performance requirements (heat load, flow rates, temperatures), we can run a thermal calculation and recommend the most efficient and cost-effective unit for your needs.
