Seems to be constructed well and and fairly heavy. This is a identical setup to what is currently being ran to heat a 6000 gallon underground storage tank. The other wood boiler is smaller and we used a 40 plate as an proof of concept. No complaints as far as efficiency! If I remember correctly, 170⁰-180⁰ boiler water goes into the exchanger comes out around 145⁰'ish. The other side comes in at 56⁰ and goes out around 78⁰ish. Roughly about a 20⁰ delta throughout the entire heating process. It will bring the storage tank up to about 120⁰. Review: Good Heat Transfer - Just finished my install and have had it running twice. So far I have been very satisfied. My closed loop is running at 150 degree F and my open loop target temp is 120 degrees F. I started with 2,000 gallons of 48 degree water during my first test and raised the temp to 100 degrees F in about 2 hours. I still need to insulate the HX and all of my pipes. ## Features - 【EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE】ALECOIL brazed plate heat exchanger is made of high quality 316L stainless steel and have been brazed together with copper in an oxygen-free furnace. This provides unparalleled strength to support the widest range of high-temperature and high-pressure applications. - 【SPECIAL PROCESS】Uses an asymmetric fish bone plate design that creates strong turbulences and moves the two media in opposite directions for superior heat transfer rates and efficiency. Fish bone plate design also reduces the pressure drop on the secondary side, making it possible to use a smaller pump and less electricity, lowering the overall cost of applications. - 【PARAMETER】Model: FHC030B-70-4.5, 1,023,000 btu/h capacity, 22.08 sq.ft heat transfer area, 5"x12"-70 plates with 1-1/4" port. - 【APPLICATION】Provides the highest level of thermal efficiency and durability in a compact lightweight unit, this water heat exchanger is ideal for domestic water heating, floor heating, snow melting, wort chiller, outdoor wood furnaces, solar heating, zone heating systems, industrial oil cooling, residential and light commercial HVAC hydronic systems. - 【TRUSTED QUALITY】Our brazed plate heat exchanger series have been certificated by UL.

These dimensions are for 5"x12" series unit. **Q: I don't understand what this heat exchanger does. Can you please explain how it is used and why?** A: It is used for water to water heating or cooling application. Hot water enters from right top port(F1) and leaves from right bottom port(F2). Cold water enters from left bottom port(F3) and leaves from left top port(F4). You may need circulation pump if there are permitted pressure loss limits. It is small size, only 5" x 12 " size of plate with 4 ports 1-1/4" MNPT. We also has 3" x 8" with 4 ports 3/4" MNPT and 4" x 12" with 4 ports 1" MNPT. Hope it can solve your questions. **Q: How is this product intended to be mounted? Are there studs or tabs, or is a bracket required?** A: It can be mounted right on the pipe or you can just strap on the wall. This unit have not brackets or studs that come with it. But if you are using copper pipe to strapped up will be better. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Good so far *by J***N on January 29, 2026* Haven't installed it on the wood boiler yet, but built the assembly waiting for a warm day to hook it up.

So far I have been very satisfied. My closed loop is running at 150 degree F and my open loop target temp is 120 degrees F. I started with 2,000 gallons of 48 degree water during my first test and raised the temp to 100 degrees F in about 2 hours. I still need to insulate the HX and all of my pipes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reduced bill *by I***T on January 24, 2023* No more waiting to shower! My old tank thankfully died. With a household of 5, someone always got shafted with the lukewarm or cold shower. Then you had to wait the obligatory 45 minutes for the next shower. Screw that! The installation is simple if you are inclined to do some simple plumbing and electrical work on your own. SharkBite fittings make modern plumbing so simple that it is like grown-up Legos. Otherwise, pay a professional. I got the highest rated tank that my electrical box would sustain and now I can shower while the washing machine is running and don't even notice. Should someone else decide to shower at the same time, it does not matter. My master bathroom has a nice big tub in it that we never used. The entire tank could only fill it up to barely cover our knees. On the first night after installing the tankless, we filled that sucker up and soaked for a luxurious hour. Power consumption is down. Even though I probably take a 20% longer shower now, my energy bill is way down. The old tank was that inefficient. I think the gain is mostly due to the old tank slowly failing but my recent energy bills are the lowest they have ever been since moving into this house. Damn that old tank. ## Frequently Bought Together - ALECOIL 5"x12"-70 Plates Heat Exchanger with 1-1/4" MPT Port Water to Water 316L Stainless Steel Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger for Water Heating, Floor Heating, Industrial and Commercial Refrigeration - WiseWater 110V Circulation Pump, 130W 13 GPM Hot Water Recirculating Pump, 3 Speed Switchable Circulator Pump with 1'' FNPT Flanges for Boiler, Solar Heater and Hydronic Radiant Heating, Red - AB Plate Heat Exchanger, 4"x 12" 100 Plates Water To Water Heat Exchanger, Copper/SS316L Stainless Steel Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger For Floor Heating, Water Heating, Snow Melting --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/525338899-5x12-70-plates](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/525338899-5x12-70-plates) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
