Alfa's gasketed plate heat exchangers have high heat transfer rates in a compact size. They have a wide array of sizes and styles to allow flexible solutions at an often lower capital cost compared to shell and tube style units. They are designed for ease of maintenance and optimum performance. Units can be often set up for expansion by simply leaving room for additional plates. Plates and gaskets are available in a variety of materials and styles to suit your application.
AlfaRexTM Gasket-Free Plate Heat Exchanger
The AlfaRex is a 100% gasket free welded plate heat exchanger for high pressure and temperature applications and where gaskets are unacceptable. Handles temperatures from -58° to 650°F and pressures to 600 psig. The AlfaRex is ideal for batch reactor temperature control systems, aggressive media, and cyclical applications.
Spiral Heat Exchangers
Spiral Heat exchangers are used for heavy fouling applications as a heater, cooler, condenser, or interchanger. Their construction allows high efficiency in a compact design. They are available in a variety of materials and their single spiral channel reduces fouling rates associated with slurries and solid laden fluids.
Compabloc Welded Heat Exchanger
Compablocs are gasket-free and 100% accessible on both sides of the unit. Able to handle pressures up to 450 psig and temperatures as high as 650°F, their design combines efficient heat transfer with reliability and low capital cost when compared to other style units for similar duties.
Compaplate Wide-Gap Welded Exchanger
This Wide-Gap welded PHE is well suited for high fouling services in a gasket-free low maintenance design. Units can be custom designed to meet a wide variety of applications including pulp and paper white water management systems, where water quality is poor, or condensation duties with a large gas volume.
Alfa Laval Plate Coil is manufactured so that it has the highest pressure rating of any comparable units. Pieces are 100% sized and shaped to fit your application and provide the performance you need. Deliveries are set up to be quick and our die forming manufacturing technique eliminates issues with integrity at the welds that can be seen with inflated types.
Plate Evaporator
Our plate evaporators are used for condensing in chemical, sugar, fats and oil industries. They can be configured as a booster in existing systems or as a complete effect station. Alfa Laval evaporators provide short residence time and low hold-up volume in a compact design.
Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger
Brazed plate heat exchangers are versatile and suitable for general heat recovery, oil cooling, refrigeration duties, ammonia refrigerant, and deionized water. Compact design and gasket-free operation make this an excellent choice for a variety of applications.
