Plate Heat Exchanger NORDIC Ba-12-50 3/4" 100kW

Heat Exchanger (HE) for heating systems Nordic Tec Ba-12-50 100kW

Plate Heat Exchanger with 100kW of nominal power - Nordic Tec Ba-12-50

4x 3/4", 50 plates

The Ba-12-50 central heating heat exchanger operates by transferring heat from the hot medium ( --> such as water or water mixed with glycol) to the cooler medium (such as the heating water of the central heating system - but it can also be the domestic hot water system).
This process allows for effective room heating - while minimizing energy consumption.

Technical details - Heat Exchanger for heating systems:

• Material used for HE plate production: Stainless Steel S316L, brazed with 99,9% Cu
• Liquid Connectors of a HE: 4x 3/4", BSP
• Working Pressure - <10 bar
  Test Pressure - 20 bar
• Nominal power of heat exchanger: 100kW (nominally for high parameters)
  ✅ The power of 100kW Heat Exchanger is nominal, which meant this is the maximum power achievable under very high indrustial parameters (temperatures and massive flowrate). This does not equate to the power of the furnace, heating boiler, or another heating device to which this PHE should be used or paired with.
• Max. temperature +230°C
• Max. Flowrate - 4 m³/h

- Heat Exchange Surface - Plate Heat Exchanger Ba-12-50 : 0.600 m²

The 50-plate heat exchanger has a heat exchange surface, as indicated in the chart above, of 0.6 m². The exchange surface in a plate heat exchanger refers to the active surface of the plates, meaning the part that actually participates in heat transfer. It does not include, for example, the external surface of the device. The exchange surface is a key indicator of the efficiency of a plate heat exchanger.

In the Ba-12 series, the 50-plate exchanger is one of the largest models; only the Ba-12-60 model, introduced later, has a larger surface area.

The total plate surface in the Ba-12-50 model is calculated by multiplying the number of plates (50 units) by the surface area of each plate (which, in this case, is 0.012 m²). Multiplying these values gives the total exchange surface of the exchanger, which is 0.60 m².

More about Plate Heat Exchanger Ba-12-50 by Nordic Tec

This is the unit which is quite compact but still has quite a big heat exchanger surface of 0.60m2. This is the figure which is enough to cooperate for example with a gas boiler 20-24kW or heat up the building of cca 200m2. This is the biggest unit from the serie Ba-12. If you need something with a bigger surface, we suggest to check the serie Ba-23, which has bigger plate.

In industrial applications, the Ba-12-50 exchanger will work especially well because of the specific shape - a narrow and not very long plate with more plates, which is often an advantage where models with larger plate do not fit. It can also work in oil refrigeration.

Home heat exchanger - Nordic Tec 50 plates Ba-12-50

Ba-12-50 is a excellent home heat exchanger - which means it's a classic size for many modetn homes, detached houses, single familly houses etc. The reason why this plate heat exchanger is more predestinated to this than other models from the catalogue is very simple. The heat transfer are of those 50 plates - 0.60m² is exactly the value which is required to heat up the home surfaces of about 200 m², sometimes even bigger.

Of course, to be technically correct we have to remind that the plate heat exchanger sizing should be done only up to the home surface. Home heat exchangers should be sized in relation to the heat source (so the efficiency of the heating boiler, fireplace, heat pump etc) - first of all. But if we assume that this heating device has been sized up to our home needs - in practise plate heat exchanger Ba-12-50 works the best with 200-250m² of a building surface.

In other words - Ba-12-50 thanks to those parameters is enough to work well with different type of boilers and burners, including fireplaces between 20 kW and 25 kW, which are the most popular solutions for single family houses.

There is an important hint for laymen - among the heating device we didn't list very popular type of central heating, which is supplied by heat pump system. For heat pumps, because of technical reasons we stronly advise to use the plate heat exchangers with bigger heat exchange area - so the model Ba-12-50 is not the best choice for this still.

If you feel uncomfortable sizing the home heat exchanger yourselves - or you got the doubts - please contact our team to verify the sizing, we are waiting for you.
