Company: Alfa Laval

Product: Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers

Description: In redesigning industrial gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchangers, Alfa Laval’s engineers have sought to provide customers with flexible solutions suitable to the widest range of applications. Among this product’s features is a patented CurveFlow™ distribution area, which simultaneously improves the media flow and minimizes fouling. The result is increased thermal efficiency, which translates to a more compact unit as well as more sustainable energy usage. Other features include a unique five-point alignment system, which reduces the risks of unplanned stops by keeping the plates held in the correct position during tightening and operation. The ClipGrip™ gasket design is another example, which provides reliable fastening of the gaskets to the plates.
