Overcoming frost issues in HVAC Heat Exchangers: Alper’s game-changing solution
How to enhance the efficiency and reliability of your cooling systems? In the chiller industry, many systems rely on ALPER to maintain the optimal operation of BPHE (brazed plate heat exchangers). But what are the anti-freeze solutions that ALPER offers, and why is an anti-frost system in BPHE essential for improving the efficiency and reliability of your cooling systems?
Discover with Alper all the advantages of heating resistances!
What are anti-freeze heating resistances for BPHE?
Anti-freeze heating resistances are elements designed to prevent freezing inside BPHE (known as brazed plate heat exchangers). These heat exchangers are widely used in chillers for fluid cooling but can be susceptible to freezing under certain temperature conditions.
Why is freezing a problem in BPHE?
Freezing inside BPHE can cause serious damage and interruptions in the operation of your chiller. When water or other fluids inside the BPHE freeze, they expand and can damage the brazed plates, compromising the efficiency and reliability of the entire system. Additionally, freezing can lead to obstructions in flow channels, reducing cooling efficiency and requiring costly repairs.

How do anti-freeze heating resistances work?
Anti-freeze heating resistances are integrated into BPHE and are designed to generate sufficient heat to prevent fluid freezing inside the heat exchanger. The heat is directed only where needed, with minimal volume. ALPER resistances are, in fact, as thin as a foil of approximately 0.4mm. These resistances can be activated when temperatures drop below a certain freezing point, ensuring that the fluid remains liquid and that the BPHE remains undamaged.

Why choose Alper resistances as BPHE anti-frost solutions?
Here are the benefits:
Improved efficiency: By using heating resistances, you can keep the BPHE operational even at low temperatures, ensuring consistent chiller efficiency throughout the year, including the periods of the year when the system is switched off and the outdoor temperature is below zero.
Reliability: ALPER's heating resistances reduce the risk of damage due to freezing, extending the lifespan of the BPHE and reducing the need for costly repairs.
Reduced operating costs: Preventing malfunctions caused by frost saves money on maintenance and repair chiller’s costs.
ALPER heating resistances are an essential component to ensure the reliable operation and efficiency of chillers in the cooling industry. Investing in Alper anti-frost heating solutions can help avoid costly freezing-related issues and ensure that your cooling system operates optimally in any weather condition. Do not underestimate the importance of this component to maintain the performance of your chillers and reduce long-term operating and maintenance costs.
