Alfa Laval heat exchanger calculation program

Alfa Laval produces high-quality equipment that provides technological processes in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, heat and power industries and other industrial areas. European precision and quality guarantees you the operation of the equipment at design operating conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the right installation by calculating the main parameters for the inlet and outlet temperatures and heat transfer efficiency indicators. For this, the Alfa Laval heat exchanger selection program is used, which offers to fill in the mechanical configuration and enter the main characteristics of the system. You can then select the order of equipment grouping and additional options that the selected scheme allows you to enter. As a result, the program calculates thermal coefficients and generates design documentation, namely drawings of a heat exchanger and a connection diagram. In the process of work, a list is issued, consisting of several options and general recommendations. In order to place an order, you must fill out a survey form. Each type of equipment has its own version of the program with a specific list of product nomenclature.
In addition to choosing the heat exchanger itself, the system as a whole is designed with additional devices that ensure pressure and temperature control and respond in a timely manner to critical situations. For the tightness of all joints, the company also produces gaskets for heat exchangers alfa laval, which have an adhesive and non-adhesive base and are a variety of elastomers. Rubber-containing seals exhibit high heat resistance and a long service life without cracks and other damage. To increase this property, some brands of seals allow a varnish protective coating. Glueless gaskets can easily be replaced with new ones, since the connections are made with special clips. The most popular are nitrile and EPDM seals. Also an indispensable component of any heat exchanger is the system of pipes, which supplies liquid and releases pressure or performs the functions of installing the unit into the heat exchange system. The tube material is titanium, carbon steel or most often stainless steel. In this case, the connecting elements are a flange, which also has a gasket for a more tight connection. All parts of the heat exchanger are important for the main part to work efficiently and there is no heat loss.
