The order comprises Alfa Laval air coolers which will cool the gas turbines’ lubricating oil and dissipate excess heat from the turbines in the gas-fired power plant.
“This is yet another large order and this time from the power industry. It confirms our strong position as a supplier of reliable equipment to this sector," says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.
