Frick Plate Heat Exchangers
The heat transfer plates, the heart of the LaZerWeld™ II heat exchanger, are stamped in a corrugated design pattern to induce turbulent flow, then laser welded together in pairs at the flow perimeter, minimizing liquid bypass at the edges via a patented plate design system. Refrigerant flows through this welded plate channel and the fluid to be cooled is in the gasketed channel.

Semi-welded plate pairs can easily be added to the existing heat exchanger frame, allowing for future expansion when your refrigeration requirements grow.

Approach temperatures as close as 2°F allow a higher suction temperature and higher coefficient of performance than a traditional shell and tube exchanger, reducing compressor size and related components of a new refrigeration system.

The amount of refrigerant needed in a LaZerWeld II plate heat exchanger is only 20-30% of the capacity compared to a tubular unit for more savings on the system charge and minimal environmental impact.

Units use 1/3 less floor space and weigh 1/6 the weight of a tubular heat exchanger. The plate heat exchanger can also be maintained within the installed space and without the need to remove piping.
