What is the Significance of 56K warning in the title?
Someone suggested to me that there is a solder suitable for SS.
Mfg: Harris Brand Name: Stay Silver 15 and Stay Silver Flux. Does anyone have any experience with this?
I guess brazing is preferred to solder?
Can anyone comment on the concerns relating to the selection of a brazed plate HX?
The main concern may be that you have the same or better heat transfer.
Can you have too much heat transfer?
The brazed plate HX seems to be much smaller in volume, is this a concern?
The brazed plate is an extension of the fin and plate design. The major advantage here is it's surface area. The brazed plate design simply transfers an enormous amount of heat in a very small package. The only thing that could be better, would be one with more plates. You won't get any better than this design. It's used in many industrial applications by corporations for which money is NOT a constraint. If there was better, they'd be using it.
