The HX were built to order with the proper brazed connections on the refrigerant side. and pipe thread on the loop side.

The third BPHX is going to be used for the house solar hot water. I'll post the activities on this install in another post

Looking forward To having the 3ph control for the compressor. And hopefully some really good COP.

Do the HX have distributors on the vapour outlets? Quite important. Also, once you have checked them out for quality, please let us know who to order from. Alpha Laval is a bit pricy
