Bell Gossett 5-686-02-020-00 Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger

Product Description

The BELL GOSSETT 5-686-02-020-00 is a brazed plate heat exchanger designed for hydronic and fluid-to-fluid heat transfer applications. It is constructed from stainless steel with a compact plate-and-braze design that delivers efficient thermal transfer in a small footprint. The unit is rated to a maximum working pressure of 435 psi and a maximum working temperature of 435 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding residential and light commercial heating and cooling systems. It flows up to 2.5 gallons per minute at 5 psi. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydronic system specialists are the typical installers of this component.

This brazed plate heat exchanger is used in applications where two fluid circuits must exchange heat without mixing, such as domestic hot water generation, radiant floor heating, boiler system isolation, geothermal loop separation, and snowmelt systems. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion in both closed-loop and open-loop systems. The compact overall dimensions of 3.5 inches wide by 12.8 inches high by 2.2 inches deep allow installation in tight mechanical rooms and equipment enclosures where space is limited.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in hydronic and fluid transfer systems
• Maximum working pressure of 435 psi suits high-pressure system configurations
• Maximum working temperature of 435 degrees F supports high-temperature heating applications
• Flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute at 5 psi differential pressure
• Compact form factor at 3.5 inches wide by 12.8 inches high by 2.2 inches deep eases installation in confined spaces
• Brazed plate design delivers efficient thermal transfer with low pressure drop

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation brazed plate heat exchanger for residential and light commercial hydronic, geothermal, and fluid-to-fluid heat transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local mechanical codes and ASHRAE guidelines. Isolate and depressurize both fluid circuits before making any connections, and ensure all piping is flushed clean to prevent fouling of the plate passages. Support the unit properly to avoid stress on brazed connections. Do not exceed the rated working pressure or temperature stamped on the unit.
