The fully welded heat exchanger Hybrid Heat Exchanger consists of high efficiency plates and a strong channel structure. It is designed to operate under difficult conditions where extremely low pressure loss is required, if necessary, where other heat exchangers cannot perform due to temperature and pressure limitations. Thanks to its compact and flexible design, the APV Hybrid takes up 5-10 times less space than conventional tube heat exchangers that perform the same tasks.
Hybrid Heat Exchanger Application areas:
It is generally used at high temperature and high pressure for heating, cooling, condensation and evaporation. E.g; used in energy, chemical, petrochemical and sugar industry applications.

Hybrid Heat Exchanger – All Welded Design
How do welded heat exchangers work??
Welded heat exchangers are heat exchangers designed to produce hot water using hot water from a combi boiler or boiler as the primary heating source, as well as solar energy, a hot water tank or another heat source. Such exchangers are also called “hybrid exchangers”.
Features of Welded Heat Exchangers:
- They have dual heat sources, usually a gas or electric powered main heater and a source such as solar power or a hot water tank as an alternative heat source.
- They have two separate circuits: a primary heating circuit and a secondary heating circuit.
- They first produce hot water from the primary source, but can also supply hot water from an alternative source when needed or if the primary source is unavailable.
- Control systems often take into account various factors (e.g. sunlight level, hot water demand, outside air temperature, etc.) to decide which source to use.
Usage Areas of Welded Heat Exchangers:
- Houses: They can be used to provide hot water in homes, improving energy efficiency by utilizing both conventional energy sources (gas, electricity) and renewable energy sources (solar energy).
- Commercial Buildings: They can also be used for hot water supply in commercial buildings such as hotels, hospitals, schools.
- Industrial Applications: They can be used in industrial plants, especially for process heating.
Advantages of Welded Plate Heat Exchangers:
- Energy Efficiency: Increases energy efficiency by using multiple energy sources.
- Less Carbon Emission: Encourages the use of renewable energy sources and therefore reduces the carbon footprint.
- Reliability: Having two different energy sources allows the system to continue when one source fails or becomes unusable.
- Long-Term Savings: Provides long-term savings by providing less energy consumption and lower operating costs.
These features and advantages make welded heat exchangers preferred in various applications.
