Alfa Laval Compabloc Compact Heat Exchanger Range

Alfa Laval Compabloc range is compact and designed for optimum performance and serviceability across a broad spectrum of industrial process applications. Standard pressure range up to 42 bar.

Application

The Alfa Laval Compabloc is a fully welded compact heat exchanger designed for the complete range of process and utility duties. The Compabloc range provides the most efficient, cost-effective, compact and cleanable heat exchanger solution available today. After 20 years on the market, Compabloc has shown itself to be the market leader in terms of life-cycle costs and energy savings.



Design

Alfa Laval designed the Compabloc range of welded heat exchangers with a focus on performance, compactness, and serviceability.

The heart of the Compabloc is a stack of corrugated heat transfer plates in 316L stainless steel, or other high-grade material. The plates are laser welded (models CP30 and above) and form a compact core. This core is then enclosed and supported by four corner girders, top and bottom heads and four side panels (see Sectional view of Compabloc). These components are bolted together and can be quickly taken apart for inspection, service and cleaning. The design can be configured in single or multi-pass  arrangements in either co-current or counter-current operation, for liquid-to-liquid or two-phase duties.

Self Priming Centrifugal Pump Manufacturers - Alfa Laval

Image
The cost-effective LKH pumps are used for evaporation, high-pressure, self-priming and high-purity applications. Alfa Laval as a  centrifugal pump manufacturers focuses on initial cost and the self-priming MR pump, used for CIP return applications. The UltraPure versions meet requirements in pharmaceutical industries and are supplied with Alfa Laval Q-doc, a documentation package providing transparency of sourcing, production and supply chains, and full traceability of all changes in material, procedures or spare parts. For higher pump efficiency and big energy savings, choose the Alfa Laval LKH Prime self-priming pump. Advanced design with air-screw pump technology makes handling Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) duties containing entrained air as well as pumping process media easy. This reduces capital investment. Like the Alfa Laval LKH pump range, the LKH Prime meets the most stringent requirements in the food, dairy, beverage, home and personal care industries. An extended performance ...

3 strategic advantages of the Alfa Laval welded plates heat exchanger

Image
Choosing equipment to transfer the fluid heat in production processes are vital for the performance and efficiency of our customers. Our strong alliance with Alfa Laval guarantees not only prime quality heat exchangers, but also the support of the leading manufacturer. Apart from the brand’s worldwide recognition, we advocate for what the benefit of choosing an Alfa Laval heat exchanger means to our customers.   What is a heat exchanger used for? This equipment is gaining a field in the refrigeration industry thanks to its versatility and efficiency. Even though industrial applications are very diverse, the solutions it offers are pretty concrete: ·          Transfers temperature from one fluid to another, heating a cold fluid through a higher temperature fluid. ·          Reduces a fluid’s temperature through a lower temperature one, helping cool the fluids involved in the productive chain....

Bulker-fit configuration for Alfa Laval PureBallast 3 matches differentiated ballasting/deballasting flows

  Bulk carriers can now benefit from an Alfa Laval PureBallast 3 bulker-fit configuration, which is specifically adapted to their flow needs. The bulker-fit configuration offers savings in footprint, installation, OPEX, and especially CAPEX, yet it retains the high performance, easy operation, and global service coverage PureBallast 3 is known for. A growing number of ship owners are choosing UV ballast water treatment over electrochlorination, even for large ballast water flows. Today’s UV treatment competes easily on footprint and energy consumption, which makes advantages like chemical-free operation, zero corrosion risk, and efficiency at low salinities and temperatures even more attractive. Until now, however, the move towards UV has been less noticeable among bulkers. “Bulkers have a unique ballasting and deballasting profile because they load and unload at significantly different rates,” says Peter Sahlén, Head of Alfa Laval PureBallast. “The PureBallast 3 bulker-fit configu...
