Industrial semi-welded GPHEs
Alfa Laval Semi-welded gasketed plate heat exchangers for industrial applications. These heat exchangers are specifically designed for situations where gaskets are not suitable as one of the process media. They offer a reliable and efficient solution in scenarios where the use of gaskets is limited.
One of the key advantages of the Alfa Laval Semi-welded gasketed plate heat exchangers is their ability to handle higher design pressures compared to fully gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchangers. This makes them suitable for applications that require elevated pressure capabilities.
In the Semi-welded heat exchanger, the refrigerant flows in laser-welded, sealed plate channels, while the liquid brine flows in gasketed channels in the opposite channel. This design ensures effective heat transfer between the two media while maintaining separation. This configuration is commonly used in refrigeration applications for various purposes, including evaporators, condensers, desuperheaters, cascade duties, economizers/subcoolers, and more.
The Alfa Laval Semi-welded gasketed plate heat exchangers offer several benefits for industrial applications. They allow for easy modification of the heat transfer area to accommodate altered capacities and different refrigerants. Additionally, these heat exchangers can combine condenser/desuperheater or condenser/oil cooler functionalities in a single unit, reducing space requirements and enhancing operational efficiency.
For CO2 cascade duties, a special high-pressure version of the Semi-welded gasketed plate heat exchanger is available. This version is designed to handle the specific demands of CO2 refrigeration systems, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
To further meet specific application requirements, a special fitted Surge drum is available for flooded NH3 evaporator applications. This drum enhances the functionality and performance of the heat exchanger in such applications, ensuring efficient operation and minimizing the risk of system issues.
The Alfa Laval Semi-welded gasketed plate heat exchangers can be optimized by integrating them with air liquid coolers in indirect cooling systems. This integration allows for comprehensive and efficient cooling solutions in a variety of industrial processes.
Choose Alfa Laval Semi-welded gasketed plate heat exchangers for your industrial applications, and benefit from their reliability, efficiency, and versatility. With their ability to handle high design pressures, combined with their application-specific features and benefits, these heat exchangers provide a reliable and efficient solution for a wide range of refrigeration applications. Trust us as your plate heat exchanger supplier to deliver high-quality products and exceptional performance for your industrial needs.
