Brazed plate heat exchangers are widely used to transfer heat in a variety of renewable energy applications, such as solar thermal power plants, wind farms, and biogas plants. For example, in solar thermal power plants, brazed plate heat exchangers are generally used to transfer heat from the sun's energy to a working fluid, which is then utilized in generating electricity. Governments of various countries are taking initiatives to increase wind farms, including wind power. For instance, in May 2023, ITOCHU Corporation announced that ITOCHU and Hitachi Zosen Corporation had begun preparations for the development and operation of an onshore wind farm in an area facing the Pacific Ocean in Rokkasho Village, Kamikita District, Aomori Prefecture and by following the incorporation of Mutsu Ogawara Wind Power LLC, it produces the electricity. The design and construction of this onshore wind farm project is aimed to start in April 2026. Similarly, in June 2023, the world's biggest floating wind farm was launched off the west coast of Norway. Brazed plate heat exchangers are used in wind farms to transfer heat from the generators to the atmosphere, which helps to keep the generators cool and prevent them from overheating. Further, governments of various countries across the globe are launching several renewable energy projects.

According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the global installed capacity of renewable energy reached 2,967 gigawatts (GW) in 2021. This represents a 9% increase compared to 2020. Therefore, the brazed plate heat exchanger market is growing with the rise in renewable energy projects owing to government support.

Compact and lightweight brazed plate heat exchangers are more energy-efficient than traditional heat exchangers, making them a major choice for applications where energy efficiency is critical. Compact and lightweight brazed plate heat exchangers can be installed in spaces where traditional heat exchangers are unable to fit. This is important for applications in aerospace and marine industries, where space is limited. These exchangers are easy to transport and install, making them ideal for portable applications such as construction and disaster relief. Compact and lightweight brazed plate heat exchangers are used in aircraft to cool the engines and other systems, which helps to reduce the weight of the aircraft and improves fuel efficiency and performance. Similarly, these are used in ships to cool the engines and other systems that help to reduce the weight of the ship, which improves fuel efficiency and performance. In addition, compact and lightweight brazed plate heat exchangers are used in portable construction equipment, such as air compressors and generators, as well as in mobile disaster relief units to provide hot water and heating equipment for victims. Increasing technological advancements are making it possible to develop brazed plate heat exchangers that are highly compact and lightweight for various industrial applications. As the need for energy-efficient solutions continues to grow, along with technological advancements, the demand for compact and lightweight brazed plate heat exchangers is expected to increase. Therefore, the increasing focus on the development of compact and lightweight designs is anticipated to fuel the brazed plate heat exchanger market in the coming years.
