Compact Size: Brazed heat exchangers corrugated plates create multiple flow channels, maximizing the heat transfer surface area within a small footprint. This makes them ideal for applications where space is limited.
Efficient Heat Transfer: The corrugated plates in a brazed heat exchanger create turbulence in the fluid flow, enhancing heat transfer efficiency. The turbulent flow promotes better mixing of the fluids and minimizes the formation of stagnant zones, leading to improved heat transfer rates.
High Thermal Efficiency: The brazing process used in the construction of these heat exchangers ensures a highly conductive joint between the plates.
In an asymmetrical brazed plate heat exchanger, the hot fluid flows through channels with a larger depth, which allows for greater heat transfer. The cold fluid flows through channels with a smaller depth, which offers less resistance to flow, reducing the pressure drop.

Reduced Fouling: The design of brazed heat exchangers with smooth and continuous surfaces minimizes the potential for fouling. The absence of gaskets or crevices reduces the likelihood of accumulation of debris or scale, resulting in lower maintenance requirements and improved overall performance.
Wide Range of Applications:
-HVAC systems
-Refrigeration
-Process cooling
-Industrial heating/ cooling.
-liquid-to-liquid and gas-to-liquid heat transfer processes
This design is particularly useful in applications where one fluid is at a much higher temperature than the other, such as in a Condenser or Evaporator.
At around 3 AM, I received an alert from Steve Redick about a fire incident at 5000 N. Clark Street. The initial report simply mentioned a 3-11 alarm, which immediately had me on edge. As someone who’s familiar with the area, I know this part of Chicago well, and it’s always unsettling to hear about emergencies like this.
Later, I came across more details from @CFDMedia, which painted a clearer picture. According to their updates, there was a significant fire at the location, and multiple emergency services were dispatched. It was noted that one civilian was transported to Weiss Hospital, though the condition wasn’t specified. I’ve seen enough of these incidents to understand how quickly things can escalate, especially in older buildings or commercial areas.
Curious, I started scrolling through some images related to the event. There are several photos shared by @CFDMedia that show the extent of the damage. From what I can gather, it looks like an auto body shop was severely affected by the blaze. The flames appear to have engulfed a large portion of the structure, leaving behind a charred mess. The images are stark reminders of how destructive fires can be, even when they’re contained relatively quickly.
As I write this, I’m still waiting for further updates. It’s hard not to think about the people who might have been inside or nearby during the incident. Fires like this often bring out the best in communities, with neighbors rallying together to support those affected. Hopefully, the situation stabilizes soon, and everyone involved gets the help they need.
For now, I’ll keep an eye on any new developments and share them as they come in. In the meantime, if anyone has more information or knows someone impacted by the fire, feel free to reach out. This is just another reminder of why staying informed is so important, especially in a bustling city like Chicago.
