Alpha Laval's magnetic mixer (patented) synchronizes the impeller inside the tank with the external drive head through built-in magnets. Unlike other magnetic mixers, this impeller does not sit on guide bearings when stationary; instead, it floats on a powerful magnetic field. This eliminates contact and friction with the shaft, significantly reducing the likelihood of bearing failure. Alpha Laval's magnetic mixer can operate continuously without issues until complete discharge, regardless of the liquid level in the tank.

Wide-gap is a "plate type" developed for the purpose of heat exchange in fluids containing fibers and coarse particles, as well as in fluids with high viscosity. In conventional "plate type" and other types of heat exchangers, fluids that tend to clog are managed with wide-gap flow paths. This prevents blockages within the unit even with fluids that are prone to clogging, significantly reducing the frequency of cleaning. Furthermore, the unique wavy plates generate advanced turbulence in the fluid, dramatically enhancing heat exchange efficiency. It demonstrates performance that exceeds the limits of tubular heat exchangers in processes such as sugar production, fermentation alcohol distillation, chemical processes, and the paper and pulp industry. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

Double-wall is used in processes where dangerous reactions are expected when two fluids that exchange heat mix, as well as in applications like bioplants where mixing accidents could have adverse effects on the external environment. It employs a special pair-plate with a double structure, combined in the same way as conventional "plate-type" heat exchangers. In the event that cracks or pinholes occur in the plates, the fluid will flow out through the gap of the pair-plate to the outside of the heat exchanger, preventing the mixing of the two fluids and allowing for safe operation. It can accommodate applications that have traditionally used multi-tube heat exchangers, double circuit intercoolers, and indirect heating coils, and is effective in various processes including the cooling of transformer oil, heating of drinking water, and in the chemical, bioplant, food, and pharmaceutical manufacturing industries. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

The Twin-plate is a "plate type" developed to handle fluids that can penetrate rubber gaskets and highly permeable fluids. It creates a bag-shaped cassette plate (Twin-plate) by laser welding the seal sections of two plates and combines them with a gasket. Alternating flow paths sealed by the welded sections and the gasket are formed, allowing fluids that can penetrate the gasket to flow through the welded flow paths. It is ideal for cases where the use of gaskets is not possible on the process liquid side and where disassembly and cleaning are required on the other side, making it effective in refrigeration systems using ammonia refrigerants, heating and cooling of solvents or process liquids, and district heating and cooling. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

Graphite is a "plate type" that performs best against highly corrosive fluids. Instead of metal, corrosion-resistant graphite is used. With the numerous features of the "plate type" that are not required in other types of heat exchangers, excellent corrosion resistance is added, making it possible to handle fluids that are difficult for metal "plate types." It can be used for heat exchange of strong acids such as hydrochloric acid, medium-concentration sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, phosphoric acid, and many corrosive organic liquids in chemical plants, significantly improving heat exchange efficiency compared to other types of heat exchangers. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

The TS-M is a plate-type heat exchanger primarily developed for fluid heating using steam as the heating medium. With the adoption of an innovative design for the heat transfer plates and special gaskets, it efficiently responds to situations where rapid temperature changes are required on the heated side, which has been a problem with conventional plate-type heat exchangers during steam heating, as well as to small temperature changes of 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. It quickly adapts to various changes in operating conditions, ensuring stable heat exchange. Its robust design is strong against thermal fatigue, allowing it to withstand harsh operations with steam, resulting in excellent durability. Additionally, it is very compact compared to the widely used multi-tube heat exchangers for steam, requiring less installation space and making it easy to modularize in combination with other equipment. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

The evaporator is a compact yet highly efficient device that concentrates solutions by evaporating solvents such as water. It is constructed by laser welding the seal areas of two plates to create a bag-shaped cassette plate, which is then combined with a gasket. The welded flow paths and the gasket-sealed flow paths are arranged alternately, with steam flowing through the former and process liquid flowing through the latter for concentration. The pressure loss during evaporation is significantly smaller than that of conventional plates due to a specially designed plate pattern, making it less likely to cause uneven flow. In addition to being used for the concentration of sugar solutions, its applications are expanding into various fields such as alcohol distillation and sludge concentration. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

Brazed Plate is a plate-type heat exchanger composed of stainless steel (SUS316) plates that are brazed with copper or nickel in a vacuum heating furnace, along with two cover plates. It is the most compact among "plate-type" heat exchangers, as it does not have gaskets, tightening bolts, or carrying bars. This allows for miniaturization and modularization of systems, making it suitable for air conditioning and hot water supply in buildings and apartments, as well as for various industrial fields, including the refrigeration industry, where it is adopted as a replacement for multi-tube heat exchangers, supporting space-saving of equipment and processes. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

• Unit and other construction

A plate-type heat exchanger consists of a pack of corrugated metal plates with openings through which two fluids pass, allowing heat to be transferred between the corrugated metal plates. The plate pack is incorporated between a fixed frame plate and a movable pressure plate, and it is compressed by tightening bolts. Gaskets attached to the plates seal the spaces between the plates and alternately guide the fluids within the channels. The number of plates is determined by flow rate, temperature conditions, fluid characteristics, and pressure loss. The corrugation of the plates promotes turbulence in the fluid and provides a structure that can withstand pressure differences. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

The Volkswagen wind tunnel testing facility in Wolfsburg, Germany, is the largest wind tunnel in Europe. The facility is equipped with 11 Alfa Laval heat exchangers, of which 4 are cooling units, 3 are heating units, 2 are for free cooling (cooling without using cooling equipment), and 2 are used with two cooling devices. These heat exchangers, installed in 2008, have made it possible to quickly change temperatures. The key to the facility's cooling system is free cooling, which utilizes outside air for cooling without using cooling equipment. Thanks to Alfa Laval's heat exchangers, free cooling is effective when there is a sufficient temperature difference between the outside air and the refrigerant being cooled. The additional heat exchangers installed for free cooling have significantly reduced operating costs, saving both electricity and clothing.
