Heat exchanger goes large
September 1st 2009 The Compabloc 12, Alfa Laval's
largest ever Compabloc welded
compact heat exchanger, is designed
to help plant operators reduce
energy costs and CO2 emissions
while increasing plant uptime.
The all-welded unit can withstand
pressures to 42 barg which makes it
suitable for a wide range of duties in
industries such as oil and gas, power,
petrochemicals, chemicals, pulp and
paper. The company says that in
many applications a single Compabloc
120 will be able to replace one or
more shell & tube exchangers,
providing the same or greater
capacity for lower capital investment.
A combination of high turbulence
and true counter-current flow is said
to offer maximum heat recovery
which, in turn, provides energy
savings because energy can be
recovered and recycled. More articles from Alfa Laval Limited: |
