Durable, compact, and efficient brazed plate heat exchangers for the most demanding applications
The SWEP All-Stainless range is best in class on cleanliness and efficiency and the ideal choice for a wide range of industrial and utility applications that impose high demands on corrosion and leaching resistance and have a low tolerance for contamination. Our robust and durable stainless steel range is also optimal for high-temperature and high-pressure applications. The combination of highly efficient heat transfer and compact design makes SWEP All-Stainless brazed plate heat exchangers the perfect solution for many confined spaces. We can also customize this modular product to meet your specific requirements.
What Industry & Applications do you work with?
SWEP All-Stainless prevents Cu-corrosion and prolongs the lifetime of the system. The robust construction is suitable for many applications.
SWEP All-Stainless is the ideal choice for deionized water systems at low conductivity levels below 1µS/cm.
SWEP All-Stainless combines high heat transfer efficiency with excellent corrosion resistance and small footprint.
SWEP All-Stainless is the perfect choice for applications where hygiene is a deciding factor and copper leaching must be avoided.
Side-stepping corrosion and leaching
The SWEP All-Stainless range is especially suitable for systems where the heat exchanger must withstand aggressive media and where contamination must be avoided at all costs.
Stainless steel brazed plate heat exchangers have channel plates made of genuine stainless steel. They are brazed together with an iron-based copper-free filler material that mimics the composition of the plates. The carefully considered composition delivers superior corrosion resistance and makes the SWEP All-Stainless range suitable for aggressive media such as ammonia, deionized water, and fluids with a high sulfur content.
Being 100% copper-free, our All-Stainless brazed plate heat exchangers are the ideal replacement for traditional copper- and nickel-brazed heat exchangers where leaching must be avoided.
SWEP All-Stainless models combine high resistance to corrosion, low risk of contamination, and high thermal strength in a single brazed plate heat exchanger with no compromise on outstanding thermal performance.

Get in touchAmmonia
Ammonia is aggressive to copper. In systems with ammonia as the heat transfer media, traditional copper-brazed brazed plate heat exchangers are at high risk of corrosion leading to system failure. SWEP All-Stainless brazed plate heat exchangers are ideal for preventing copper corrosion and avoiding system failure. The robust construction is suitable for various ammonia applications, including demanding cascade applications.

Cooling sheet metal laser cutting equipment with SWEP All-Stainless brazed plate heat exchangers
- Glen Dimplex Thermal Solutions (GDTS) manufactures air- and water-cooled chillers.
- A key issue faced by GDTS with chillers from previous suppliers was leaking evaporators. The previous chiller manufacturers had begun to use standard copper brazed brazed plate heat exchangers which could not withstand the corrosion of the deionized water.
- The conductivity level of the deionized water was thoroughly evaluated by SWEP from a material compatibility standpoint, leading to the decision of requiring all stainless-steel brazed brazed plate heat exchangers. SWEP All-Stainless products are developed for systems demanding 100% stainless steel components, and for high-temperature applications. They can be used with fluids that are corrosive to copper, e.g. ammonia, or for sensitive applications where copper and nickel contamination must be avoided.
Low maintenance – longer lifetime
SWEP brazed plate heat exchangers have no gaskets or loose parts, so they can be cleaned without disassembly. The All-Stainless construction means there is no need for replacements caused by copper corrosion. Furthermore, the copper-free material maintains oil quality and minimizes the need for oil replacement. The SWEP All-Stainless range keeps maintenance to a minimum, and avoids labor costs and expensive downtime.

All-Stainless brazed plate heat exchangers: A robust solution to upgrade biogas as fuel to PowerGen
Luming Inteligência Energética had an application where the main objective of the system was to generate electricity reusing the energy contained in the biogas. They needed a compact, non-corrosive solution and SWEP brazed plate heat exchangers were able to deliver.
Oils
Although copper brazed brazed plate heat exchangers are successfully used in many oil cooling systems, for some systems with more aggressive oils, copper leaching may be triggered. This may result in initial or regular oil changes, which is time-consuming and costly.
When you choose SWEP All-Stainless products, you get a compact solution that delivers extremely efficient heat transfer while ensuring zero copper leaching, thanks to their copper-free material.
