Alfa Laval introduces energy-efficient plate heat exchangers

Alfa Laval introduces energy-efficient plate heat exchangers for industrial, commercial, and
residential heat pumps to support its sustainable cities initiative.

Cities consume two-thirds of global energy and produce 70 percent of carbon emissions. Achieving net-zero targets requires enormous efficiency improvements in cities worldwide. Alfa Laval has implemented various climate-smart heat pump projects in collaboration with manufacturers.

Malgorzata Moczynska, President of Business Unit Brazed & Fusion Bonded Heat Exchangers,
highlighting the latest addition to the portfolio, remarked that the new SE range of brazed heat
exchangers is designed for use with flammable natural refrigerants in heat pumps and air conditioning systems. They offer exceptionally high thermal efficiency and maximum performance with a minimal refrigerant charge. The commitment to safety and efficiency is evident in the performance of these units.
Maximising waste heat utilisation

Heat pumps with energy-efficient plate heat exchangers can harness even the tiniest amounts
of waste heat from sources like municipal wastewater, seawater, data centres, or industrial
processes for reuse in other heating and cooling processes. Increasingly, these systems
use natural refrigerants like hydrocarbon, carbon dioxide, and ammonia. Alfa Laval’s
compact and robust heat exchangers efficiently harness various energy sources. They safely
use natural refrigerants, meet diverse pressure and temperature requirements, and can be
incorporated into ATEX-compliant systems.

Julien Gennetier, President of Business Unit Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers, says, “Participating in Chillventa was a good opportunity for Alfa Laval to showcase its latest innovations in refrigeration and heat pump technology, including the largest capacity ammonia heat pump condenser – strengthening
Alfa Laval’s commitment to drive energy efficiency in the development of sustainable cities. We are always proud to present solutions that help our customers to reach net zero across all industries”.
