Bell Gossett 5-686-06-030-00 Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger

Product Description

The BELL GOSSETT 5-686-06-030-00 is a brazed plate heat exchanger engineered for high-efficiency thermal transfer in hydronic and process fluid systems. Constructed from stainless steel, it delivers a flow rate of 15 gallons per minute at 5 psi and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 435 psi and a maximum working temperature of 435 degrees F. At 47 pounds, it is a robust unit suited for demanding commercial and industrial heating and cooling applications. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers install this type of heat exchanger where compact, high-performance heat transfer is required without the bulk of shell-and-tube designs.

This brazed plate heat exchanger is used in hydronic heating systems, domestic hot water generation, radiant floor systems, chiller hookups, and industrial process cooling loops. Its 2-inch connection size accommodates standard pipe fittings used in commercial mechanical systems. The stainless steel construction makes it well suited for installations where corrosion resistance and durability under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions are priorities.

Key Features

• Stainless steel brazed plate construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• 15 GPM flow rate at 5 psi for efficient fluid transfer
• Maximum working pressure of 435 psi for high-demand applications
• Maximum working temperature of 435 degrees F
• 2-inch connection size compatible with standard commercial pipe fittings
• Compact plate design offers high heat transfer surface area in a reduced footprint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation brazed plate heat exchanger for commercial and industrial hydronic and process fluid systems requiring 2-inch connections and high-pressure ratings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable mechanical codes including ASHRAE and local jurisdiction requirements. Shut off and isolate all fluid circuits and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any connections. Verify that supply and return connections are properly oriented per the system design to ensure correct flow direction through the plates. Inspect all brazed connections and fittings for leaks after system pressurization before returning the unit to service.
