Introducing Plate Heat Exchangers for Wood Boilers
A plate heat exchanger is a compact, high-efficiency device designed to transfer heat from one fluid to another without mixing them. In a wood boiler system, it moves heat from your outdoor boiler to your indoor heating loop, helping maintain temperature balance while keeping the two systems separate.
These brazed plate heat exchangers are used across a wide range of applications—from home heating to heavy industrial systems, because they handle high pressure, high temperatures, and variable flow conditions with ease.

Plate Heat Exchangers for All Your Needs
When selecting a heat exchanger for boilers, you need something durable, efficient, and easy to install. Here's what makes these units stand out:
Superior Thermal Performance
Tightly spaced plates maximize surface area for heat transfer, allowing for fast and effective temperature exchange with reduced fuel waste.
Compact and Space-Saving Design
Their slim build makes them ideal for tight mechanical rooms or DIY boiler installs with limited space.
Energy Efficiency
A high efficiency heat exchanger means lower fuel use and more consistent temps, especially useful for off-grid or self-sufficient systems.
Corrosion Resistance
Built with stainless steel and brazed copper, these exchangers resist corrosion in harsh water conditions.
Low Maintenance Requirements
No moving parts, no headaches. Just install, monitor, and clean as needed.
Applications for Plate Heat Exchangers
These aren’t just for wood boilers. A plate heat exchanger for outdoor wood boiler setups can be used across a wide range of heating and cooling systems:

FAQ
How does a brazed plate heat exchanger work?
It transfers heat between two liquids through a series of thin, pressed plates. The fluids flow on opposite sides of each plate, never mixing but exchanging heat efficiently.
What size plate heat exchanger do I need?
Sizing depends on your flow rate, temperature difference, and BTU load. If you're unsure, please contact us with your specifications, and we’ll be happy to help.
Can a plate heat exchanger be used for domestic hot water?
Yes. Just ensure it’s appropriately sized and installed, with safe operating temperatures and pressures, for potable use.
How do I maintain or clean a plate heat exchanger?
Flush the unit regularly with a descaling agent if you're in a hard water area. Make sure to inspect for debris or buildup annually.
