Technology
Research and development for brazed plate heat exchangers
We design together with your system.
Since the very beginning, the Polidoro R&D Department has turned application needs into industrial solutions through inventions, co-development, testing and simulation.
Research center
The Polidoro Research Center
The Polidoro R&D Department is where new solutions are born and where projects are developed, tested and optimised together with customers.
The experience gained in heating, refrigeration, air conditioning and domestic hot water systems is now also applied to the development of brazed plate heat exchangers.

How we work
From development to samples
OEM co-development
A heat exchanger never works in isolation: it is part of a system.
Flow rate, temperatures, pressure drop, dimensions, connections and operating conditions all influence the choice of configuration. That is why Davhex can work alongside the manufacturer during development, from initial selection to verification of the solution.
Samples and small batches
A dedicated production line makes it possible to handle samples and small batches quickly, without compromising series production efficiency.
Selection software
Davhex also provides selection software that sizes the heat exchanger from your project data.
The software is available on Davhex.com after licence activation and can be customised for partners, including dedicated versions.
