One of the leaders in the world market of production and development of new types of heat exchange equipment for different purposes is the Swedish company Alfa Laval  Lund AB. Founded as far back as 1883, it successfully operates today.

The greatest popularity in the markets was won by the Alfa Laval heat exchangers of 2 types: the Alfa Laval heat exchanger is demountable and soldered. Each of these species has certain advantages, which make their application in this or that case more rational.

The main activity of the company is devices that provide separation (separation), heating, cooling, transportation of various liquid substances, including chemical reagents, petroleum products, medicines and food liquids, and loose mixtures are heat exchangers. It is a large international company that has a number of patents for unique designs of VET used in heat exchanging equipment for plates, frames, gaskets, has know-how in the field of technological solutions and uses only high-quality materials in its activities, which provides a decent level of final product, its long life and reliability.

Today, the need for such devices is wide enough and they are used in many countries around the world in the field of centralized water supply, which includes the supply, including hot water, as well as in air conditioning and the creation of ventilation systems of buildings and structures. Steam or water acts as a heating medium.

Alfa Laval heat exchangers - the main advantages

  • In the PTO, plates 0.5 mm thick are used and they are made by way of one-way pressing. Thanks to this production method and a special profile of flow channels, the rigidity and strength of the structure is achieved, a considerable service life, efficient heat transfer and reliability;
  • Minimized the number of possible leaks due to the precise placement of the plates, which is ensured by the special design of the frame. This allows multiple disassembly and assembly, as well as changing its area by removing or adding additional plates;
  • The possibility of repeated productions of cycles for disassembly and assembly of PTO is achieved through the use of seamless gaskets, the fixation of which is not based on the use of adhesives. In addition, the gasket profile is a patented technical solution, because it is responsible for the tightness of the working space and due to this - the long life of the gasket.

A heat exchanger is an aggregate in which processes of heat transfer from a high-temperature working environment to a final heat consumer-a cold medium-occur with the aid of corrugated plates sandwiched between two powerful panels that hold them together. In some cases, this may be a non-dismountable heat exchanger with an area of ​​0.2m2, in others - demountable units whose performance characteristics can be increased if desired.

Spiral devices are the main advantages

Spiral are most often used in the treatment of liquids with the presence in their composition of solid particles, sediments of various compositions, as well as slurries, suspensions and viscous liquids. Small devices can also be successfully used in wastewater treatment.
  The modern coil-type heat exchanger is that, in its design, they resemble a clock spring, which consists of two metal sheets twisted to form channels. In this case, the liquids that pass through these channels do not mix, but at the same time high heat transfer qualities and the most suitable flow parameters, differing in viscosity, composition and intensity are provided. Since the channels are of concentric construction, they do not need a lot of space for installation, which significantly reduces the usable area that can be used for production purposes.

Heat exchanger - working principle

Demountable VTO washer

If there is a high-quality oven in the bath, the boiler for heating the liquid that will enter the washing chamber will not be required. For this, you can use the Alfa-Laval heat exchanger. As its main function is the heating of the incoming liquid and its return to the hinged tank. That is why, while the "heart" of the sauna is burning, the water in the next room will remain hot. After the bath stops heating, the water merges. This is precisely the rationality of this idea.

Technical characteristics of the heat exchanger

If you are interested in the Alfa-Laval manufacturer, the selection of a heat exchanger from this supplier can be made. How exactly, will be described below. Bath furnaces equipped with a heat exchanger are constructions in which there is a space where cold water enters. After her temperature rises, she starts moving through the pipes, advances to the hinged tank or radiators. In this case, the role of the heat exchanger of a bath furnace is not only to heat the liquid for the shower room, but also the external tanks located in the rest room or in the waiting room.

Varieties


If you are interested in the Alfa-Laval heat exchanger, then you should consider that two variants of this design can be distinguished. Thus, the heat exchanger can be internal or external. In the first case, the device is a coil, which is launched on the bottom or integrated into the side of the furnace chamber. The coil is also called a shirt, which completely covers the furnace. If we are talking about an external heat exchanger, it is a chimney module, or rather a pipe that is girded with a sealed container.

Key Features


The "Alfa-Laval" heat exchanger, whatever its appearance, is filled with a liquid, which can be water or antifreeze. The reporting capacitance is responsible for supplying the liquid to the heat exchanger. Capacity - a hinged tank or a battery of water heating. For connection, as a rule, two fittings are used, one of them is located from below, while the other is from above. The principle of operation of the heat exchanger is extremely simple, everything happens due to the circulation of heated water or by connecting a pump that must operate on electricity.

Brazed heat exchangers Alfa-Laval are available in a wide range. Specialists recommend choosing open heating systems in the bath, while the process will not be accompanied by pressure. It is also important that the most effective system for heating the liquid in a bath is one whose total length of pipes does not exceed 3 meters. As practice shows, this will be enough to put the tank directly behind the steam room wall. It is important to pay attention to the thickness of the pipe, it is better if it is less than an inch, otherwise the water movement will be given considerable resistance, while the bath oven with a heat exchanger, devoid of a pump, will not have the ability to distill water. If you have considered the heat exchanger "Alpha-Laval" and decided to make such an assembly yourself, then you should follow the advice of experienced masters. They recommend to make this design using old radiators, which is true if suitable materials were not at hand. You can use automotive radiators or borrowed from a heating system. They will need to be combined, which will increase the heat exchange area. In the course of work, the use of adapters is required.

Calculation of the area of ​​the heat exchanger


Specialists emphasize that the calculations of the dimensions of the heat exchanger, as a rule, are the same. For example, the heating of a traditional room will require about 5 kW, which is the amount of energy that must be provided by the furnace with a heat exchanger. As for one square meter of heat exchanger area, this will be about 9 kW during the furnace. Undoubtedly, much will depend on the location of the boiler with the furnace, as well as the burning rate of the fuel. However, the boiler output will drop 10 times after the completion of the furnace process. That is why the surface area of ​​the heat exchanger should be calculated with some margin, only in this way you will be able to create a system that will be able to maintain a comfortable temperature in all the premises of the bath complex with a two-time or one-time furnace. Considering the plate heat exchanger "Alpha-Laval", you should take into account that the boiler and the furnace can be very different in shape. However, the most popular are those that are made of stainless pipes, but increasingly common are those that are made of two channels.

Characteristics of the Alfa Laval M3 heat exchanger

If you paid attention to the plate heat exchanger Alfa-Laval, then before buying it is worth considering in more detail the technical characteristics. If we are talking about the above-mentioned model, it will be 3, 9 cubic meters. Plates of this version of the heat exchanger have a surface area of ​​0.08 square meters. As for the maximum area of ​​heat exchange, it is equivalent to 3.9 square meters. The model described is small in size and very user-friendly, also compact enough, it has a frame that can withstand a maximum head of 16 bar. Among other things, the device is equipped with a plate. This model acts as a standard version of the plate-type split heat exchanger, which consists of several plates. Frames are located on both sides. In the process of production, the plates are given a corrugated surface, which makes it possible to provide quality heat supply by transferring a liquid that is in countercurrent to each other. In order that water does not flow into one another and does not flow out of the structure, the latter has a series of seals and gaskets, which are designed to protect the internal contents from the effects of the external environment.

Positive features of Alfa Laval M3


Alfa-Laval heat exchangers, the characteristics of which will be useful for you to read before visiting the store, are a quality product that allows efficient operation of heating equipment. The unit of this series is also called a water heater because of the functions it performs. If we consider the technical characteristics of a heat exchanger of this kind in more detail, we can distinguish some dimensions. Namely, the height of the unit, which is equal to 480 millimeters, the width (180 millimeters) and the maximum temperature equal to 180 degrees. The liquid consumption is 4 kilograms per second.

The heat exchanger Alfa-Laval, whose technical characteristics will be of interest to each consumer, is presented in a single-stroke version, the design does not have a supporting heel, which is also called the legs. This model is compulsorily supplemented with the necessary - a passport and instruction manual. Documents will be required to ensure that users have an idea of ​​the features of the equipment and have managed to cope with the problems encountered during the operation. After all, the customer will certainly have to maintain, perform preventive work, clean the system, which will help the device to work efficiently. After the calculation of the heat exchangers Alfa-Laval, you can go to the store. Only in this way will you be able to create a system that will have a high coefficient of efficiency.

Conclusion

It is advisable to purchase the heat exchanger model recommended by the manufacturer. This will ensure that the design is suitable for a particular installation, and in the process of operation you will not encounter failures.

The phrase "Alfa Laval" has long been for specialists and people dedicated to the synonym of the words "heat exchanging equipment of the highest quality", however, can it not be otherwise, since this company has been working since the end of the XIX century, supplying various designs for heat, cooling, separation and flow, as well as to ensure the functionality of various production processes. Of course, the amount of equipment produced by the plants of the Swedish brand "Alfa Laval Group" today exceeds all conceivable limits, but, nevertheless, worldwide users recognize it for a number of know-how - high-class demountable and brazed plate heat exchangers.

The first such unit was created by the founder of the company Gustaf de Laval, but to date the model range of heat exchangers from the Swedish company Alfa Laval is grandiose: TL, BFG, 30H, CB, AC, M-line and many, many other series are produced in factories of this brand Worldwide. There are more than twenty different series of plate-like installations, in each of which dozens of models and hundreds of their versions. But there is also an abundance of types of boilers and reboilers Alfa Laval! Such a scale of production is very indicative. The company has perfectly proven itself in this market and is its undoubted leader, supplying its goods to many countries around the world.

What is the secret of such popularity? As you know, all ingenious is simple. The invention of elementary in design and efficient in the operation of plate aggregates enabled the specialists of the manufacturing company to offer the consumer a high-quality, easy-to-use and highly efficient heat exchanger, in which some media can move quickly and easily, carrying out heat exchange among themselves. By this principle, first dismantled and after welded structures, copper tube heat exchangers in Alfa Laval tube (35 plates), aggregates of stainless steel and titanium and other materials were put into operation.

Alfa Laval plate heat exchangers

Plate-type heat exchangers - an amazing invention by Alfa Laval are aggregates in which processes of heat transfer from a high-temperature working environment to a final heat-consuming - cold medium with the assistance of corrugated plates take place. At the same time, visually such an assembly resembles a large mass of metal plates sandwiched between two powerful panels that hold them together. Between the plates are arranged channels for liquids, which can flow both in countercurrent to each other (cold and hot), and in parallel. In some cases, non-separable plate heat exchangers JSC "Alfa Laval  Flow "area of ​​0.2m.kv., In others - demountable structures, which, if desired, can be expanded, thereby increasing their performance and performance.

However, any plate-type heat exchange systems have a number of advantages that make them not only competitive, but also particularly coveted by all consumers who understand this technique. First of all, these installations are made of the best materials on modern technologies, which determines their high quality and reliability. Secondly, compared to other foreign brands, these units are quite affordable at their price. Thirdly, they differ in compactness, ease and ease of use, not to mention the elementary nature of installation work (even if it is a question of installing a plate heat exchanger for the Alfa Laval M15-MBG heating system for 250 liters of fuel oil and 6 nozzles). Finally, all procedures for repair, maintenance and prevention of this equipment are much simplified due to the design features of the system: nipples and flanges are mounted directly to the clamping plates. All these factors determine the extraordinary popularity of plate aggregates all over the world.

Alfa Laval plate products are also sold in our country. So, types of Alfa Laval heat exchangers in Yubileyny and Voronezh, Moscow and Volgograd, Novosibirsk and Arkhangelsk are the same: they are demountable constructions, welded (as well as semi-welded) and soldered. The first are good because they can be painlessly expanded by adding panels. Brazed - are exceptionally adapted to work at increased pressure. And welded are ideal in case of need of operation at superhigh pressure, and also boundary values ​​of temperatures. However, even in Russia, rare equipment options are difficult to buy. For example, a monoblock heat exchanger Alfa Laval  Mytischi, Solnechnogorsk, Vladimir can be purchased by pre-ordering it from the supplier.

The equipment of the Potok plant

On the territory of the Russian Federation, the Swedish brand Alfa-Laval has its own representative office, officially considered one of the first branches of foreign companies with its own production in our country. The Russian Alfa Laval plant is located in the Moscow region, in the city of Korolev. The company, which carries out production and sales of products on behalf of the world-known trademark, is called OAO Alfa Laval Potok. As usual, the most demanded of its products are collapsible plate heat exchangers - compact and convenient designs that are actively used both in industry and in communal areas.

Alfa Laval's titanium heat exchangers, brazed, semi-welded and welded, special units for industrial use also produce plate-like structures; from air-exchange heat-exchange systems - air-cooled condensers, specialized water and air coolers. In addition, the company's product range also includes scraper, spiral and shell-and-tube plants. For all equipment, without exception, there are certificates of conformity of quality issued by Gosstandart. Plus to all - a mandatory official guarantee from the manufacturer. By the way, most often, the guarantee period for two-circuit heat exchangers Alfa Laval SV, M-series in a wedge with wide channels is at least a year, although, as practice shows, this equipment practically does not know failures and works fine for decades.

As for the volume of production, the local plant produces heat-exchanging units on a fairly large scale, after which they are transported throughout the country. Particularly it should be noted that the company works with both retail customers and large customers, in some cases producing split Alfa Laval heat exchangers for wholesale.

Also, thanks to the production capacities of the Potok plant, active sales of the Alfa Laval plate heat exchangers in Kazan, Ryazan, Ivanovo and other regions became possible in our country. As an example: annually on the Russian production of Alfa Laval more than one hundred and fifty thousand seals for plates come off the assembly line, which are equipped with plate constructions. Since this type of product tends to wear out quickly and periodically demand replacement, its enhanced production has a positive effect on the operation of equipment throughout the country, as consumers have the opportunity to quickly buy and replace the defective part.
