Welded Plate Heat Exchangers
Welded plate heat exchangers incorporates the performance advantages of a gasketed plate heat exchanger without the temperature, pressure, and compatibility limitations of having gaskets. The plate pack welding technology is patented and has been in production at Tenez for more than 20 years. The technology is robust and cost effective!

Advantages of Our Products
- A robust, reliable brazed joint means that you need not worry about failures and leaks.
- Our best in class double wall design with fixed drainage points ensures that process fluids cannot intermix. This is particularly important for potable water heat exchangers.
- We have many solutions for refrigeration including dual circuit designs and special distribution systems to ensure optimal flow of refrigerant.
- Although our products are highly standardized, we can offer many different nozzle sizes, designs and locations.
- We are happy to adapt the external design of our equipment for OEM clients who have limited space.
- Our proven nickel brazing technology makes our equipment the perfect choice for applications like ammonia refrigeration where copper brazing cannot be used.
Advantages of Welded Plates
Plate heat exchangers are versatile and inexpensive however the elastomer gaskets can be problematic for some applications. Below are some of the advantages of a welded plate exchanger:
- Gaskets age and need to be replaced on occasion. All welded exchangers can keep operating indefinitely.
- Gasket compatibility is not an issue.
- Equipment can be run at much higher temperatures, up to 300°C.
- Capable of operating at high pressures, up to 25 bar without risk of spraying from gaskets.
