HEaT ExCHangErS

Multiple Heat Exchangers in Series

-

Able to extend the thermal length (capacity) of a

heat exchanger.

-

Generally a high pressure drop occurs through

the heat exchangers

Multiple Heat Exchangers in Parallel

-

Able to handle large flow rates with smaller

sized heat exchangers.

-

Can maintain lower pressure drops through the

heat exchangers with larger flow rates.

SoldErIng and WEldIng ConnECTIonS

Soldering Procedures:

Recommended solder material: 30 - 55% silver alloy

Recommended flux material: Black flux for silver soldering

1. Degrease and clean the soldering surfaces on

the piping and the heat exchanger connections.

2. Apply the flux to both surfaces.
3. For refrigerant applications, purge using dry

nitrogen gas on the refrigerant side to prevent

internal oxidation.

4. Heat the soldering area to approximately 1200ºF

(650ºC). Use a wet cloth to protect the heat-

exchanger while brazing.

do not heat the soldering area higher than 1200ºf.

damage to the heat exchanger brazing material

could occur.

5. Keep the piping in a fixed position and apply the

solder.
