Your Wholesale Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger Supplier in China

Reading time: 6 min read

Shanghai Jiangxing is a leading brazed plate heat exchanger (BPHE) supplier and exporter in China, offering compact, highly efficient units with PED certification for refrigeration, HVAC, and industrial applications. We provide both copper-brazed and nickel-brazed models.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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 makes them a reliable, maintenance-free solution.

04

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. Our units are manufactured under a strict quality management system and are available with PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) certification for export to Europe. We recommend requesting documentation and evidence of a proven track record, which we are happy to provide.

05

How can I get a wholesale quote from you as a supplier?

For wholesale and OEM inquiries, please contact our export team led by Evan. You can email your requirements, including desired models, quantities, and technical specifications, to jxmike@shheatex.com. We can provide tiered pricing based on volume and discuss custom branding or connection options for OEM partners. As a leading supplier in China, we are committed to supporting your business with quality products and competitive pricing.

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. As an experienced international supplier based in China, Shanghai Jiangxing exports our brazed plate heat exchangers globally. We manage all logistics and provide the necessary export documentation, including PED certificates, for smooth customs clearance and delivery to your destination.

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.
