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....

Reach your efficiency goals with quality gasketed plate heat exchangers

Image
Gasketed plate heat exchangers Efficient heat transfer Gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchangers (GPHEs) provide efficient heat transfer in compact equipment with a small footprint - much smaller and more efficient than shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Plate heat exchangers are designed to optimize heat transfer, because the corrugated plates provide by far the greatest surface area through which the heat can be drawn from one gas or liquid to the other. The units also have a flexible design and are easy to service and maintain. Gasketed plate heat exchangers benefits: ·          Precision heat transfer - closer approach temperature, true counter current flow, 80-90% less hold-up volume ·          Low overall cost - low capital investment, reduced installation costs, limited maintenance and operating costs ·          Maximum reliability - less fouling, st...

How gasketed plate heat exchangers work

Image
In a gasketed plate heat exchanger, the plates are fitted with elastomeric gaskets which seal the channels and direct the fluids into alternate channels. The plate pack is assembled between a frame plate and a pressure plate, and compressed by tightening bolts fitted between these plates. The channel plates and the pressure plate are suspended from an upper carrying bar and located by a lower guiding bar, both of which are fixed to the support column. The physical design of the gasketed plate heat exchanger allows easy cleaning and modification of capacity by the addition or removal of plates.   ·          Liquid/Liquid GPHE   ·          Steam heater GPHE   ·          Liquid/Liquid 2-pass GPHE     Liquid/Liquid GPHE This animation above shows the working principle of an Alfa Laval liquid/liquid 1-pass gasketed plate-and-frame heat ...
