REFuture

A future-proof investment for tomorrow’s refrigerants 

As an innovative driver in the development of solutions for natural refrigerants, Alfa Laval brings years of experience working with products that enable the use of new-generation and low-GWP refrigerants to help you meet sustainability goals and any legislative requirements.

FlexFlow™

Superior thermal performance

Alfa Laval’s patented asymmetrical plate design is one of many unique innovations that gives you improved thermal efficiency thanks to optimized pressure drop and increased turbulence. In addition to cutting energy consumption, that means reducing refrigerant volumes and raw materials.

DynaStatic™

Flexible refrigerant distribution

This breakthrough production method lets you fully tailor the placement, size and number of inlets to fit your specific application, ensuring the optimal refrigerant distribution system for your products. The result is higher efficiency with the flexibility to use low-GWP refrigerants.

AlfaNova®

100% stainless steel

Built with 100% stainless steel, AlfaNova® is a solution that Alfa Laval offers for applications that use media not compatible with traditional heat exchanger materials. Not only is this advanced design optimized for use with natural refrigerants, it’s also completely recyclable.

IceSafe

Controlled, non-destructive freezing

For applications that require it, we can supply plate heat exchangers designed to allow ice crystals to form under certain operating conditions, but displaced from sensitive areas. This ensures both reliable performance and a long product life.

Groundbreaking heating and cooling innovations

Years of research and testing have resulted in the world’s most modern plate heat exchangers for heating and cooling applications. Packed full of features unique to Alfa Laval, these designs provide improved efficiency, reliability and serviceability.

CurveFlow™

Improved flow, minimized fouling

The CurveFlow™ distribution area optimizes the flow of media for better utilization of the whole plate surface. Improving the flow with more even distribution eliminates dead spots, providing higher thermal efficiency with reduced risk of fouling. This in turn means energy savings, lower maintenance costs and less time worrying about unplanned stops.

ClipGrip™

Perfect seal and trouble-free maintenance

ClipGrip™ gaskets offers superior fastening to the plate, with gaskets that are also easier to mount. The unique design prevents snaking of plates at closing and the tangling of new gasket sets. Maintenance goes faster, plates and gaskets last longer, and you save money as a result.

Five-point alignment

Perfect positioning for total reliability

This system ensures perfect plate alignment when closing the unit, while simultaneously making it quick and easy to remove plates during maintenance. Excellent plate positioning secures reliable mechanical performance and helps extend the life of your equipment.

OmegaPort™

Enhanced thermal efficiency

Alfa Laval’s noncircular inlet and outlet offers two ways to save on energy: both higher thermal efficiency and reduced pump costs. That’s because it enhances the flow of media to give increased throughput, lower pressure drop and optimal utilization of the plate surface.

Offset gasket grooves

Maximum heat transfer

A gasket groove in a special zigzag pattern offers the greatest possible heat transfer area. Better utilization of the whole plate reduces the number of plates required for optimal performance and ensures maximum thermal efficiency for still greater energy savings.

T-bar roller

Lower height and easier service

A patented carrying bar design protects the roller from falling dust and debris, preventing jamming and minimizing the potential for damage to the frame. It further ensures lower unit height and easier opening and closing for service.

PowerArc™

The longest possible plate lifetime

Our optimized plate pattern divider ensures a more rigid plate, preventing plate elongation and securing perfect alignment. The result is a more robust and durable plate, which further provides more efficient heat transfer.

Bearing Boxes

Smoother, safer, simpler maintenance

Many of our large and medium plate heat exchangers employ tightening bolts with bearing boxes to reduce friction when opening and closing the unit. This makes it possible for one person to easily and safely service the heat exchanger without the need for special tools.

Total reliability and efficient thermal performance

Semi-welded plate heat exchangers are suitable for refrigeration, chemical processes and various kinds of industrial utility duties. The unique Alfa Laval RefTight™ sealing system guarantees a long lifetime sealing between the welded channels because the laser weld is on the outside of the ring gasket groove. The smooth surface ensures a tight uniform seal over the entire gasket ring.

CurveFlow™

Improved flow, minimized fouling

The CurveFlow™ distribution area optimizes the flow of media for better utilization of the whole plate surface. Improving the flow with more even distribution eliminates dead spots, providing higher thermal efficiency with reduced risk of fouling. This in turn means energy savings, lower maintenance costs and less time worrying about unplanned stops.

RefTight™

High-performance gasket sealing for high-pressure duties

The RefTight™ sealing system enables enhanced, long-term performance in applications with high pressures and temperatures. The weld is positioned outside the separate ring gasket groove, ensuring reliable sealing as well as extended gasket lifetime and prolonged service intervals.

OmegaPort™

Enhanced thermal efficiency

Alfa Laval’s noncircular inlet and outlet offers two ways to save on energy: both higher thermal efficiency and reduced pump costs. That’s because it enhances the flow of media to give increased throughput, lower pressure drop and optimal utilization of the plate surface.

Five-point alignment

Perfect positioning for total reliability

This system ensures perfect plate alignment when closing the unit, while simultaneously making it quick and easy to remove plates during maintenance. Excellent plate positioning secures reliable mechanical performance and helps extend the life of your equipment.

Compact frame

Facilitates maintenance and minimizes service area requirement

The Compact frame feature offers more capacity in a smaller footprint. The smart guiding bar enables a maximum number of plates or cassettes in the frame while keeping the service area requirements down to a minimum. The design enables a faster and safer service which minimizes downtime and reduces maintenance costs.

Bearing Boxes

Smoother, safer, simpler maintenance

Many of our large and medium plate heat exchangers employ tightening bolts with bearing boxes to reduce friction when opening and closing the unit. This makes it possible for one person to easily and safely service the heat exchanger without the need for special tools.
