Brazed Aluminum Cores and Batteries

Product Summary:

BAHX offer superior performance over shell & tube heat exchangers. Chart has developed a wide range of fin patterns to accommodate different process requirements. Design variations can accommodate an unlimited range of flow options, including counterflow, crossflow, parallel flow, multi-pass and multi-stream flows. Brazed aluminum heat exchangers lead to lower installation and operating costs over a wide range of cryogenic and non-cryogenic applications.

Manufacturer Info: Chart Energy & Chemicals, Inc. is a world leader in the manufacture of custom designed and engineered equipment for a variety of process industries. Chart continually improves and develops heat exchanger components to keep up with customers' demanding heat transfer and high pressure requirements.
