Alfa Laval Plate Heat Exchangers

Alfa Laval is a Swedish company founded by Gustaf de Laval and Oscar Lamm in 1883. Today, Alfa Laval is recognized as a world-leading manufacturer of products in the fields of heat transfer, separation and fluid handling. Nowadays we recognize Alfa Laval Plate Heat Exchangers.

Plate Heat Exchangers

Alfa Laval is a leading global provider of first-rate products in the areas of heat transfer, separation and fluid handling. With these as its base, Alfa Laval aims to help enhance the productivity and competitiveness of its customers in various industries throughout the world. We define their challenges and deliver sustainable products and solutions that meet their requirements – mainly in energy, the environment, food and the marine industry.

In heat transfer, getting the most energy-efficient and reliable performance is about having the ideal technology for your specific conditions. For 90 years, Alfa Laval has been developing plate heat exchangers technology (PHE) tailored to our customers’ applications. Today we offer the most comprehensive portfolio of PHE on the market to meet a wide range of required needs. With the experience we have gained over the years, we can customize to your needs.

Plate heat exchangers are also closely associated with the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system, which is one of the most important systems in a building. Because they are interrelated, you can also read about Kenapa Harus Alfa Laval which I highly recommend.

Plate Heat Exchangers

A plate heat exchanger is a kind of heat-transfer device that transfers heat between two fluids using a grid of thin metal plates. Usually composed of titanium or stainless steel, the plates are stacked in a series with channels to allow the two fluids to pass through. Heat is transmitted between the fluids as they go through the channels by means of the plate walls. In many different industrial and HVAC applications where small, effective heat transfer is needed, plate heat exchangers are a standard choice. Their excellent heat transfer efficiency, low cost, and ease of maintenance make them the favored option over other forms of heat exchangers.

Brazed

Brazed PHE are compact, efficient, and maintenance-free solutions for heating, cooling, evaporation, and condensation in a wide range of applications. Each unit is designed for task optimization, with a unique set of features that ensure superior thermal performance and maximum reliability. This enables the longest possible service life—even under conditions with extremely high design stresses.

With robust and reliable construction, Alfa Laval’s complete range of brazed plate technology offers a smart alternative to traditional heat exchangers. Examples of uses include air conditioning, process cooling, commercial and industrial refrigeration, district heating, domestic hot water, heat pumps, gas boilers, energy storage, fuel cells, oil and fuel cooling, hydraulics, engine cooling, air compressors, and air dryers.

Brazed-Sustainability Solutions

• Lightweight brazed construction offers significantly greater thermal efficiency than comparable shell-and-tubes 75% smaller in size
• Flexible Dyna Static distribution system in AC models enables higher efficiency in any evaporation duty and with any refrigerant
• Alfa Laval’s Flex Flow plate design provides channel asymmetry that can be customized to the application
• We help you choose the optimal pressure depth, plate pattern and configuration for your application
• Ideal solution for use with natural refrigerants, thanks to low emissions, optimized plate design and high design pressure

Fusion

Alfa Fusion is a novel manufacturing process that combines the brazed plate heat exchanger’s high efficiency and small footprint with enhanced hygienic practices and resistance to corrosion. Fusion-bonded Alfa Nova heat exchangers feature a full stainless steel structure, suitable for installations requiring semi-welded and welded technologies, or where cleanliness is critical, such as in tap water heating systems and clean water refrigerators.

Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers

Plate heat exchangers use corrugated plates stacked between a fixed and movable pressure plate. Virtually all material is used for heat transfer, allowing a large heat transfer surface in a compact footprint. PHEs can offer the same thermal capacity as a shell-and-tube exchanger five times larger. Alfa Laval’s plate heat exchangers feature superior design to ensure long-term performance and customer satisfaction.

• High thermal efficiency and tight temperature approach
• Compact unit – space saving, easy to service and maintain
• Maximum uptime – less dirt build-up, stress, wear, and corrosion
• Flexible – easily adaptable to various task requirements
