Alfa Laval
T25 Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger
The Alfa Laval T25 is a gasketed plate heat exchanger from the Industrial line, designed for high throughput with excellent thermal performance. Its flexible plate pack is easily opened for inspection and cleaning, and the heat-transfer area can be adjusted to the duty by adding or removing plates.
Product Benefits
- Even media distribution: CurveFlow distribution areas and OmegaPort noncircular ports spread the media evenly over the plate surface.
- Channel geometry tuned: The FlexFlow plate design tunes channel geometry to the duty, and the PowerArc plate pattern divider adds rigidity to the pack.
- Stable thermal performance: The result is high, stable thermal performance with less dead area and lower fouling tendency than generic plate designs.
- From water to aggressive media: A broad choice of plate and gasket types means one frame can be configured for anything from utility water to aggressive process media.
- Certified plants and vessels: Approvals to major pressure vessel codes, including ASME and PED, together with marine class society acceptance, make it straightforward to specify in certified plants and on vessels.
Where It's Used
- Very wide industrial spectrum: The T25 handles heating and cooling duties across a very wide industrial spectrum.
- Utilities and hygienic production: Sectors include energy and utilities, HVAC and refrigeration, chemicals, food, dairy and beverages, biotech and pharmaceutical, and home and personal care.
- Heavy process industries: It also serves steel, mining, minerals and pigments, pulp and paper, semiconductor and electronics, machinery and manufacturing, marine and transportation, and water and waste treatment applications.
Good to Know
- Plates for corrosive media: Plates are offered in stainless steels, high-alloy grades and titanium variants, so the wetted surface can be matched to the corrosivity of the media.
- Several gasket families: Gaskets come in several elastomer families to suit the fluid and the operating temperature.
- Lined port connections: The port connections can be specified with rubber-lined or metal-lined flanges, and the metal linings themselves are available in corrosion-resistant alloys.
- Broad design envelope: The frame and pressure plate are epoxy-painted carbon steel, with a design envelope reaching from full vacuum to high pressures and across a wide temperature span.
- Gasket renewal in place: As with all gasketed models, periodic gasket renewal is a routine service item and can be handled without removing the unit from the line.
