AC Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger Alfa Laval
Alfa Laval has built this line of heat exchanger with its flexible DynaStatic distribution system, which through expertise in innovation optimization by Alfa Laval, has ensured the choice of refrigerant and specific application accordingly. With the combination of the unique FlexFlow asymmetric channel plates, the maximum possible efficiency is achievable for the system.
With an integrated but flexible DynaStatic distribution system, the Alfa Laval AC Brazed Heat Exchanger can provide high performance in evaporation and condensing duties. In comparison to heat exchangers without a distribution system, this performance can be 20% to 40% greater. The AC Line Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger has been specifically engineered for air conditioning or refrigeration chiller applications and heat pump applications. Some of its common duties include dry expansion evaporators for cooling water or glycol, condensers for rejecting or recovering heat to water, economizers, sub coolers and desuperheaters
AC Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger Application
Some of the applications highlighted for this line of heat exchanger;
- Evaporator
- Condenser
- Cascade systems
Design
The brazing material seals holds the plate together at the contact points ensuring optimal heat transfer efficiency and pressure resistances. Using advanced design technologies and extensive verification guarantees the highest performance and longest possible service life.
Different pressure ratings are available for different needs.
Asymmetric channels provide optimal efficiency in the most compact design. This results in low refrigerant charge or lower pressure drop on the water or brine side, reducing the CO² footprint.
Based on standard components and a modular concept, each unit is custom-built to meet specific requirements of each individual installations.
Alfa Laval’s AC Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger is suitable with most HFC, HFO and natural refrigerants.
With the DynaStatic Distribution System, the AC Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger are engineered to give the optimal fit for their intended application. The system is generally designed to provide countercurrent media flow but can also be configured for co-current flows.
The latest innovations implemented into the AC Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger, the DynaStatic and the FlexFlow designs, the Alfa Laval Heat Exchangers are able to compete with a highlighted set of features that would be able to have the edge compared to competition in the market.
The DynaStatic Design highlights its flexibility in the the production method which is a breakthrough technology, that allows freedom in designing the perfect refrigerant distribution system suitable for the products. With this feature, any placement, size and number of distributors required can be produced.
The FlexFlow Design focuses on efficiency as the range of asymmetrical flow patterns unlock new levels of efficiency. This feature was to ensure to change the one size fits all concept and to ensure each asymmetrical patterns are tailored to each applications.
