Marine gasketed plate heat exchangers
Alfa Laval has been developing heat transfer technology for more than 80 years and has been active in the marine industry for over a century. Based on that vast wealth of experience, our engineers have designed gasketed plate heat exchangers that set entirely new standards – not only for reliability, but also for thermal performance and ease of service.
The marine industry’s most modern line of plate heat exchangers
- Superior reliability and energy efficiency (OmegaPort™ ) (FlexFlow™ )
- Small size and footprint (CompactFrame™ design)
- Minimal fouling (CurveFlow™ plate distribution area)
- Easy installation and service (five-point alignment system)
- Optimized global supply chain and production for smallest environmental footprint
Suitable for any vessel, Alfa Laval gasketed plate heat exchangers excel in applications from general heating and cooling to heat recovery, condensation and evaporation. Whether used as central coolers in the engine room or for glycol heating onboard Floating Supply and Regasification Units (FSRU) their innovative features, take reliability to an all-new level and save crews time and effort during maintenance. Above all, their design minimizes fouling and maximizes heat transfer capabilities, which ensures the highest possible energy efficiency.

Funktionsprinzip
Der Wärmeübertragungsbereich eines geschraubten Plattenwärmetauschers besteht aus einer Reihe von Wellplatten, die zwischen einem Rahmen und Druckplatten montiert sind, um den Druck aufrechtzuerhalten. Dichtungen bilden den hermetischen Abschluss zwischen den Platten. Flüssigkeiten strömen normalerweise im Gegenstrom durch den Wärmetauscher. Dies ergibt die effizienteste thermische Leistung und ermöglicht eine sehr enge Temperaturannäherung, d. h. eine geringe Temperaturdifferenz zwischen dem austretenden Prozessmedium und dem eintretenden Betriebsmedium.

Heating and cooling in an engine room
On a ship, there are many types of machinery with a cooling demand. When the heat energy cannot be recovered or utilized, the total costs of transferring it away from the machinery should be kept to a minimum. Alfa Laval can ensure a cost-effective central cooling system through our portfolio of innovative plate heat exchangers. Our gasketed plate heat exchangers have unique features that reduce the running costs for engine room cooling – and contribute to sustainability.
