Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15547-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures
for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 6, Processing equipment and
systems.
This first edition of ISO 15547-2, together with ISO 15547-1, cancels and replaces ISO 15547:2000, of which
it constitutes a technical revision.
ISO 15547 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas
industries — Plate-type heat exchangers:
⎯ Part 1: Plate-and-frame heat exchangers
⎯ Part 2: Brazed aluminium plate-fin heat exchangers

ISO 15547-2:2005(E)
Introduction
Some of the requirements within this part of ISO 15547 have been extracted from the standards of the brazed
aluminium plate-fin heat exchanger manufacturers' association (ALPEMA).
Users of this part of ISO 15547 should be aware that further or differing requirements may be needed for
individual applications. This part of ISO 15547 is not intended to inhibit a vendor from offering, or the
purchaser from accepting, alternative equipment or engineering solutions for the individual application. This
may be particularly applicable where there is an innovative or developing technology. Where an alternative is
offered, the vendor should identify any variations from this part of ISO 15547 and provide details.
A recommended practice is included within this part of this International Standard (see Annex A).
This part of ISO 15547 requires the purchaser to specify certain details and features.
A bullet (z) at the beginning of a clause or subclause indicates a requirement for the purchaser to make a
decision or provide information (for information, a checklist is provided in Annex B).
In this part of ISO 15547, where practical, US Customary units are included in parentheses for information.

Part 2:
Brazed aluminium plate-fin heat exchangers
1 Scope
This part of ISO 15547 gives requirements and recommendations for the mechanical design, materials
selection, fabrication, inspection, testing, and preparation for shipment of brazed aluminium plate-fin heat
exchangers for use in petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
heat transfer area
sum of the primary and secondary heat transfer surface areas of all heat-transfer passages in contact with a
stream
See Figure 1.
Key
1 primary heat transfer surface
2 secondary heat transfer surface
NOTE 1 The primary heat transfer surface within the plate-fin heat exchanger consists of the bare parting sheet and
the fin base directly brazed to the parting sheet.
NOTE 2 The secondary heat transfer surface is provided by the fins. This area includes both sides of the fins where
they are in contact with the fluid.

2.2
item number
purchaser’s identification number for a plate-fin heat exchanger
2.3
minimum design metal temperature
lowest metal temperature at which pressure-containing elements can be subjected to design pressure
EXAMPLE Ambient temperature, process fluid temperature.
2.4
plate-fin heat exchanger
heat exchanger consisting of a block (core) of alternating layers (passages) of corrugated fins
See Figure 2.
NOTE 1 The layers are separated from each other by parting sheets and
