SWEP has announced two new brazed plate heat exchangers, the B327 and B224, designed for data center liquid cooling and district energy systems. The company says that these products address the increasing demand for efficient thermal management solutions as artificial intelligence and high-performance computing drive higher-density loads in data centers.
Both the B327 and B224 are engineered for single-phase applications such as data center cooling and district heating. According to SWEP, they feature large ports for higher flow rates, low pressure drop, and high thermal efficiency. The compact design allows integration in confined environments, including rack spaces where coolant distribution units (CDUs) are required to manage dense heat loads and maintain server temperatures effectively.
SWEP notes that the B327 model supports waste heat capture from data centers and can be deployed in thermal storage, heating substations, and tap water stations up to 1,000 kW. Applications highlighted include data center CDUs—used in closed-loop systems to circulate coolant and water for precise cooling—as well as mechanical cooling, free cooling that uses ambient air or facility water in lieu of refrigerants, and waste heat recovery for integration with district heating or process heating systems.
“SWEP is committed to providing state-of-the-art heat transfer solutions to support the rapid evolution of data centers,” said Ulrika Nordqvist, SWEP President. “Being at the forefront of market development and demand for products that meet the future of efficient, sustainable cooling and heat reuse is a core mission for SWEP. Both SWEP B224 and SWEP B327 reflect this goal.”
Further details on brazed plate heat exchangers for CDUs and district heating applications are available on SWEP’s website.
