Alfa Laval wins record air heat exchanger order in Brazil, value SEK 60 million

Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has won an order for air heat exchangers used in diesel engine cooling systems in power plants in Brazil. The customer is Wärtsilä, who is a leading provider of power solutions for ships and power plants. The order value is about SEK 60 million. Delivery is mainly scheduled for 2008.

“This is of course encouraging. We finalized the acquisition of Fincoil in December and now they deliver our biggest order ever on air heat exchangers. That is what I call good timing, says Lars Renström, CEO and President of the Alfa Laval Group. “Moreover, our investment in the manufacturing plant air heat exchanger in Finland will increase the production capacity with about 20 percent”.
Did you know that the above mentioned air heat exchangers will be used in top peak power plants in Brazil? This means that they will operate in a stand-by mode and with short notice be able to switch over to base load operation during energy consumption peaks.
