Bell Gossett 5-686-06-040-00 Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger

Product Description

The BELL GOSSETT 5-686-06-040-00 is a brazed plate heat exchanger designed for hydronic and fluid-to-fluid heat transfer applications in commercial and industrial systems. It delivers up to 20 gallons per minute at 5 psi differential pressure, handles a maximum working pressure of 435 psi, and tolerates fluid temperatures up to 435 degrees F. The unit is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long service life. Connections are sized at 2 inches to integrate with standard piping systems. Licensed plumbers, hydronic technicians, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers of this equipment.

This heat exchanger suits applications including boiler-side isolation, domestic hot water generation, radiant floor heating, chiller circuits, and geothermal loop separation. Its compact brazed-plate design makes it appropriate for tight mechanical room installations where shell-and-tube units are not practical. The high-pressure and high-temperature ratings extend its use into light industrial process heating and cooling circuits where demanding system conditions must be met.

Key Features

• Rated to 20 gallons per minute at 5 psi differential pressure
• Maximum working pressure of 435 psi for high-pressure system compatibility
• Maximum working temperature of 435 degrees F for demanding thermal applications
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in hydronic and process fluid service
• 2-inch connection size integrates with standard commercial piping
• Compact brazed-plate design allows installation in confined mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style brazed plate heat exchanger for commercial hydronic, radiant, and fluid-to-fluid heat transfer systems requiring 2-inch connections and high-pressure ratings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and ASME guidelines. Isolate and de-pressurize both fluid circuits completely before making or breaking any connections. Support the unit independently to avoid placing stress on connecting piping. Flush both circuits before placing the exchanger in service to prevent fouling of the plate passages.
