    Lc,
    I don't see any advantage in these coaxial HE's.
    A plate HE is - at least in our country - cheaper.
    It takes less place for the same capacity and there's less refrigerant in it.
    But it's more prone to freezing up.
    It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

    Hi peter
    Agree but it's not so sensitive to water quality and more robust to freezing up.
