ASME, Plate & Bar Heat Exchanger

[finman]

We are currently in the design phase of a Heat Exchanger / Pressure Vessel.

The unit features Brazed Aluminium Plate & Bar Heat Exchangers.

We have dealt with a number of manufacturers but none of them are willing to comply with the ASME IX requirements for Brazing.

Does anyone know of a Manufacturer of Brazed Aluminium Plate & Bar Heat exchangers that comply with ASME IX.

Hello,

Have you tried API Heat Transfer?

You might be able to get a listing from ASME of code shops in your area.

Brazed Al heat exchangers are manufactured by a very few specialist manufacturers (see the industry organisation ALPEMA, referred to above). Their brazing techniques are proprietary & probably company secret and, if you use Chart, Norden Cryogenie, etc. you do not have to insist on ASME brazing qualifications as they are approved by type. Make sure you only use experienced fabricators though.

Thanks for all the help so far, I've managed to grab a few contacts from your suggestions.

Unfortunately I do have to insist on the ASME Quals it would be awkward for me to explain why at this moment but if I could have avoided it I would have done.
