Smart design boosts efficiency
The plates symbolize Alfa Laval’s drive for smarter solutions, not necessarily bigger ones.
Optimized flow distribution and plate pattern boost heat transfer, increasing energy efficiency by up to 15%. These features also contribute to lowering the pressure drop by up to 10% while enabling the heat exchanger to perform the same duty.
Also, because these plates are so thin, it takes 10% less steel to produce the unit compared to previous models, reducing the carbon dioxide emissions embedded in the product.
The big benefits
Alfa Laval seeks smarter solutions, not bigger ones. The Hygienic line, with its optimized flow distribution and plate pattern, delivers:
• Energy efficiency up by 15%
• Pressure drops lowered by up to 10%
• Steel reduction of 10%, reducing embedded carbon dioxide emissions
• Enhanced product safety
• Superior cleanability
• Longer run times between cleaning cycles
• Straightforward maintenance
• Durability
