SWEP B200THx220/1P-SC-S Compatible Replacement Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger – Senovis

The SWEP B200THx220/1P-SC-S compatible replacement brazed plate heat exchanger is a practical solution for industrial users who need to replace an existing B200TH unit while maintaining the required plate configuration, connection arrangement, pressure rating, temperature range, and installation dimensions.

In a recent SENOVIS replacement project, the original SWEP heat exchanger was identified as a B200THx220/1P-SC-S with 220 plates, a 1P single-pass configuration, AISI 316/316L stainless steel heat transfer plates, copper-brazed construction, and approximately 2-inch connections.

After reviewing the original equipment information and dimensional requirements, SENOVIS manufactured a customized JF120-220D compact brazed heat exchanger as a compatible replacement.

For this type of replacement project, confirming only “SWEP B200T” or “SWEP B200TH” is not sufficient. Plate quantity, connection type, port position, overall dimensions, pressure, temperature, medium, and flow arrangement should all be checked before production.

What Is the SWEP B200THx220/1P-SC-S Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger?

The SWEP B200THx220/1P-SC-S is a large-capacity configuration within the SWEP Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger range. The project unit contained 220 plates and used a single-pass arrangement.

The original heat transfer plates were AISI 316/316L stainless steel, while the plate pack used copper-brazed construction. This type of SWEP BPHE provides a compact heat transfer surface without the replaceable plate gaskets found in a gasketed plate heat exchanger.

SWEP offers many brazed plate heat exchanger platforms for different capacities and applications. Common model references encountered in replacement projects include SWEP B5T, SWEP B10T, SWEP B12, SWEP B12MT, SWEP B25T, SWEP B35T, SWEP B56, SWEP B60, SWEP B65, SWEP B80, SWEP B85, SWEP B120T, SWEP B185, SWEP B200T, SWEP B200TH, SWEP B220, SWEP B250AS, SWEP B320T, SWEP B400T, and SWEP B500T.

Users may search for the same product category using terms such as SWEP exchanger, SWEP PHE, SWEP plate heat exchanger, SWEP cooler, SWEP condenser, SWEP evaporator, or simply SWEP heat exchanger. However, the final configuration must always be identified according to the complete model and operating conditions.

For example, references such as Heat Exchanger B200THx80/1P, B200THx90/1P-SC-S 2″+2″+2×2″, B200THx100/1P-SC-S 2″+2″+2×2″, and higher-plate-count B200TH configurations all belong to the broader B200TH family, but their plate quantities and thermal capacities are different.

Some buyers may also describe their requirement simply as a SWEP B200THx 120 to 150 Heat Exchanger. In this situation, the actual plate count and complete nameplate information still need to be confirmed before a compatible replacement can be selected.

This is why the full model SWEP B200THx220/1P-SC-S is much more useful than simply stating SWEP B200T or B200TH.

SWEP B200T Heat Exchanger Specifications and B200THx220 Configuration

The SWEP B200T Heat Exchanger family covers larger brazed plate heat exchanger duties, but each individual configuration can vary considerably.

The original unit involved in this replacement project had the following main specifications:

Original Brand: SWEP
Model: B200THx220/1P-SC-S
SWEP No.: 0261620.0
Item No.: 15164-220
Number of Plates: 220
Flow Arrangement: 1P / Single Pass
Plate Material: AISI 316/316L Stainless Steel
Brazing Material: Copper
Connections: Approx. 4 × 2 inch
Maximum Working Pressure: 32 bar at 135°C / 27 bar at 225°C
Test Pressure: 50 bar
Minimum Working Temperature: -196°C
Internal Volume: Approx. 26.3 L primary / 26.5 L secondary

For buyers searching for a Brazed plate heat exchanger B200T SWEP replacement, these specifications provide an important starting point.

However, plate count and pressure alone should not be used to approve a replacement.

The following information should also be checked:

Overall heat exchanger dimensions
Port center distances
Connection size and type
Connection orientation
Number of passes
Working medium
Inlet and outlet temperatures
Flow rate
Allowable pressure drop
Installation space
Required heat transfer capacity

Two units may both belong to the SWEP B200T or B200TH family while having different installation and thermal requirements.

Why Choose a Compatible SWEP Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger Replacement?

A compatible SWEP brazed plate heat exchanger replacement can be a practical choice when an existing unit needs to be replaced but the end user does not specifically require an original OEM product.

For most industrial maintenance projects, the key requirement is not the logo on the equipment but whether the replacement can satisfy the required:

Thermal performance
Connection arrangement
Installation dimensions
Plate material
Operating pressure
Temperature range
Working medium compatibility

A compatible replacement can also provide more sourcing flexibility when the original model has a long procurement cycle or when the buyer wants to compare alternative heat exchanger suppliers.

For a SWEP B200THx220/1P-SC-S replacement, SENOVIS reviews the available nameplate information, technical drawings, dimensions, operating conditions, and connection details before manufacturing.

If thermal data are available, we also recommend providing hot-side and cold-side inlet/outlet temperatures, flow rates, medium, allowable pressure drop, and required duty.

This technical confirmation process is particularly important for Compact Brazed Heat Exchangers, because a relatively small difference in port position or overall dimension can prevent direct installation.

SENOVIS compatible products are independently manufactured replacement products. They are not original SWEP products and are not manufactured or authorized by SWEP. Original model references are used only to identify the equipment being replaced.

SENOVIS JF120-220D Compatible SWEP BPHE Replacement

For this project, SENOVIS manufactured a JF120-220D as the compatible replacement for the original SWEP B200THx220/1P-SC-S.

The finished unit used 316L stainless steel intermediate heat transfer plates, while the upper and lower end plates and connections were manufactured from 304 stainless steel.

The replacement configuration was developed according to the confirmed project requirements rather than simply selecting a generic heat exchanger with a similar capacity.

This distinction matters because the same base series may contain many configurations.

For example, a customer may request a B200THx90/1P-SC-S, B200THx100/1P-SC-S, a B200TH with 120–150 plates, or a 220-plate configuration. Each version can have a different plate-pack length and thermal performance.

The same principle applies to other commonly searched SWEP models such as SWEP B25T, SWEP B80, SWEP B120T, and SWEP B200T. Model family information is useful for initial identification, but the exact configuration must still be verified.

For this reason, SENOVIS normally asks customers to provide:

Original nameplate
Original model
Plate quantity
Overall dimensions
Port dimensions
Connection type
Working medium
Temperature
Pressure
Existing technical drawing, if available

Clear installation photos can also help when an original dimensional drawing is unavailable.

316L Plates and Copper-Brazed Construction for Industrial Chillers

316L stainless steel is widely used in brazed plate heat exchangers because it provides good corrosion resistance while also allowing the thin plate forming required for efficient heat transfer.

The original SWEP unit in this project used AISI 316/316L heat transfer plates and copper brazing. The SENOVIS compatible unit also used 316L stainless steel intermediate plates.

Copper brazing permanently joins the heat transfer plates into one compact assembly. This creates a heat exchanger without replaceable plate gaskets and provides a high heat transfer surface area within a relatively small footprint.

This construction is commonly considered for:

Industrial cooling systems
HVAC equipment
Refrigeration systems
Oil coolers
Water-to-water heat exchangers
Heat recovery systems
Chillers
Condenser applications
Evaporator applications

This is also why searches for Brazed plated heat exchangers for industrial chillers frequently overlap with searches for SWEP condenser, SWEP cooler, and SWEP evaporator solutions.

Buyers searching for refrigerant chiller heat exchangers may compare several 316L brazed plate heat exchanger sizes, including models in the B25T, B80, B120T, and B200T capacity ranges.

However, a refrigerant application should never be selected according to model size alone. Refrigerant type, design pressure, evaporation or condensation duty, temperatures, flow conditions, and connection requirements must be confirmed.

For ammonia or other media that may not be suitable for conventional copper brazing, a different heat exchanger construction should be evaluated.

Pressure, Temperature and Connections for the SWEP B200THx220 Replacement

Mechanical compatibility is one of the most important parts of replacing a SWEP plate heat exchanger.

The original B200THx220/1P-SC-S reference information indicated a maximum working pressure of 32 bar at 135°C or 27 bar at 225°C, with an original test pressure of 50 bar.

The SENOVIS JF120-220D supplied for this project was manufactured with the following confirmed parameters:

Design Temperature: -196°C to +225°C
Design Pressure: 3.0 MPa
Test Pressure: 4.5 MPa

It is important to understand that the original SWEP specification and the specification of a compatible replacement are not automatically identical.

The replacement should be evaluated against the customer’s actual operating requirements.

Connection information is equally important.

The reference B200THx220 unit used approximately four 2-inch connections. Similar search descriptions such as B200THx90/1P-SC-S 2″+2″+2×2″ or B200THx100/1P-SC-S 2″+2″+2×2″ illustrate why connection details often appear directly in full model descriptions.

Before production, SENOVIS recommends confirming:

Port diameter
Thread or flange type
Port center distance
Connection orientation
Installation direction
Overall height and width
Plate-pack length
Available installation space

These checks help prevent a situation where the heat exchanger has sufficient thermal capacity but cannot be installed into the existing piping system.

SWEP Condenser, Cooler and Evaporator Applications

A SWEP Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger may perform very different duties depending on the system design.

In refrigeration and HVAC systems, a BPHE can be used as a SWEP condenser or SWEP evaporator, while industrial applications may use a similar plate heat exchanger as a SWEP cooler, oil cooler, water cooler, or process heat exchanger.

This is why the application must be confirmed together with the model.

For example, a SWEP evaporator application may need to handle refrigerant phase change and require very different flow conditions from a water-to-water SWEP exchanger.

Likewise, a SWEP condenser used in refrigeration equipment may require refrigerant-specific pressure and connection considerations.

Other common applications for Compact Brazed Heat Exchangers include:

Air Conditioning Heat Exchangers
Industrial chillers
Refrigeration systems
Process cooling
Heat pumps
Oil cooling
Heat recovery
Boiler systems
District Heating Heat Exchangers

For District Heating Heat Exchangers, temperature approach, pressure drop, water quality, system pressure, and required heat duty should all be considered during selection.

For Air Conditioning Heat Exchangers, the required cooling capacity, refrigerant or water circuit, temperature conditions, and available installation space are particularly important.

Rather than selecting a B200T or B200TH only from a catalog reference, SENOVIS recommends matching the replacement to the actual system operating data.

Pressure and Leakage Testing Before Shipment

Pressure and leakage inspection are important steps before an industrial SWEP heat exchanger replacement is shipped.

The SENOVIS JF120-220D manufactured for this project underwent pressure and leakage testing before dispatch.

The unit had a design pressure of 3.0 MPa and was tested at 4.5 MPa.

The test medium recorded for the unit was N₂/He, and the final pressure/leakage inspection result was Passed.

Brazed plate heat exchangers contain many narrow internal flow channels separated by thin stainless steel plates. The integrity of the plate pack and brazed joints must therefore be verified before shipment.

Depending on the project requirements, SENOVIS can support documentation such as:

Product Quality Certificate
Pressure Test Report
Leakage Test Information
Technical Data Sheet
Material Certificate / MTC where required
Certificate of Conformity
Certificate of Origin
Commercial Invoice
Packing List
Technical Drawing

Customers requiring specific testing or documentation for end-user approval should preferably confirm these requirements before production or shipment.

Packing and Export Support for SWEP Heat Exchanger Replacement Projects

A successful replacement project involves more than manufacturing the heat exchanger.

Export packing, inspection records, commercial documents, customs information, and shipping coordination may all be required before the equipment reaches the installation site.

For this B200THx220 replacement project, the completed JF120-220D passed final factory inspection and was prepared in export packaging for international shipment.

For overseas orders, SENOVIS can prepare the agreed commercial and technical documents, including:

Commercial Invoice
Packing List
Product Quality Certificate
Certificate of Origin
Technical Drawing
Pressure and Leakage Test Information
Certificate of Conformity
Material Documentation where required
Other agreed project documents

For urgent SWEP BPHE replacement inquiries, providing complete information at the beginning can significantly reduce the technical confirmation time.

The most useful information includes:

Original SWEP model
Clear nameplate photo
Number of plates
Connection size
Connection type
Port orientation
Overall dimensions
Working media
Inlet and outlet temperatures
Flow rate
Operating pressure
Required thermal capacity
Existing technical drawing

Whether the requirement is for a SWEP PHE, SWEP plate heat exchanger, SWEP B200T Heat Exchanger, SWEP condenser, SWEP cooler, SWEP evaporator, or another SWEP brazed plate heat exchanger, the complete operating and dimensional information should be reviewed before confirming a compatible replacement.
