    The AlfaDisc is an all-welded plate heat exchanger that provides high efficiency and compactness for applications involving liquids, gases, and two-phase mixtures under pressures up to 100 bars and temperatures up to 538°C; it uses a plate and shell design for higher pressure ratings than other concepts and can be fabricated from dissimilar metals. The unit features alternating channels for hot and cold media on the plate side and shell side, supporting up to 4 passes on each side to enable true counter-current or co-current flow.

    AlfaDisc

    All-welded Plate Heat Exchanger

    Applications
    AlfaDisc is suitable for most of the applications, such as
    general cooling and heating duties, condensation, evapora-
    tion, reboiling and stream heating.

    Standard design
    AlfaDisc is built on the Plate & Shell concept. It is able to
    withstand higher design pressure, is more compact, is better
    developed for fatigue applications, has the possibility for
    asymmetric flow and is cleanable on one side. These features
    in combination with an attractive price give us a range of
    competitive advantages over other welded concepts.

    The AlfaDisc all-welded plate heat exchanger provides the


    thermal efficiency and compactness of a plate and frame unit
    under conditions that would normally call for a shell and tube
    unit.

    Designed for use with liquids, gases and two-phase mixtures


    at pressure up to 100 bars (CE/PED) and 47 bars (ASME)
    and at temperatures up to 538°C, the Plate&Shell unit works
    well with aggressive media, such as organic solvents, steam
    heaters and interchangers that are beyond the capability of a
    gasketed unit. The unit is also available with removable core
    design. AlfaDisc 50

    Typical capacities The AlfaDisc unit can be fabricated from dissimilar


    Liquid flow rate metals when only one side will be exposed to
    Up to 139 kg/s (2085 gpm), depending on media, permitted corrosive conditions.

    Working principle
    The unit features a plate side and a shell side, which offer high
    pressure ratings. It has alternating channels for hot and cold
    media, and can offer true counter-current or co-current flow.
    Number of passes could be up to 4 on each side. Shell
    divider

    Nozzle sizes up to DN 400 can be accommodated on


    the shell side of the exchanger, offering higher steam
    and liquid flow rates. Nozzles on the plate side can
    be up to DN 150.
