Alfa Laval receives another order for high capacity plate heat exchanger

Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has received an order for its high capacity plate heat exchanger which will form part of a central cooling system to a petrochemical plant in the Middle East. The order value is about SEK 100 million. Delivery is scheduled for 2008.

The plate heat exchangers form part of a central cooling system where fresh water in a closed loop provides cooling for the various process plants. The fresh water in turn is cooled in the plate heat exchangers using seawater.
“This order shows the importance of new products and to take them to the market with speed,” says Lars Renström, CEO and President of the Alfa Laval Group. “This new plate heat exchanger called T50, which we introduced 2005, has been a commercial success and has further strengthened our leading market position.”
Did you know that Alfa Laval’s high capacity plate heat exchanger T50 can replace up to three traditional shell and tube heat exchangers? This gives the customer the benefit of lower installation costs and reduced energy consumption.
