General description - Semi-welded plate heat exchangers
Semi-welded plate heat exchanger The Alfa Laval semi-welded heat exchanger (SWPHE) alternates welded channels and traditional gasketed channels. The refrigerant flows in welded channels and the only gaskets in contact with the refrigerant are two circular porthole gaskets between the welded plate pairs. These gaskets are made from highly resistant materials, attached for easy replacement by a glue-free construction. The secondary medium flows in channels sealed by traditional elastomer gaskets. Double sealing and corrosion resistant plate materials prevent intermixture of media, the absence of pressure-retaining seal welds and a flexible, yet vibration-resistant design.
Slaughterhouses Chemical and pharmaceutical industries Ice manufacturing, ice-skating rinks Cold and frozen storage Food retail outlet When the gasketed side is food approved it could be used in direct cooling of food liquids, eg. NH3/beer, juice or water. Other application like heat pumps, organic rankine cycles and absorption systems could also request SWPHE for different duties.
Fig. 1 The channels for the refrigerant and the brine are sealed by laser welds and gaskets.
Features The SWPHE is very flexible and variable and can be arranged in Twin or twounits-in-one design, e.g. desuperheater/condenser, oilcooler/condenser. These features gives the possibility to manufacture two duties in one frame at a lower cost, smaller volume and shorter footprint.

Applications The Alfa Laval semi-welded heat exchangers are used as evaporators and condensers for refrigeration systems in a whole series of applications, eg: Dairy, brewery and vineyard production Marine Fishing vessels and fish processing
Disassembling and assembling possibilities The plate heat exchanger concept allows the SWPHE to be opened and reclosed several times. This makes assembly on site piece by piece possible, which is an advantage when transportation space is limited. It also allows opening the SWPHE for service. Since all connections are normally located at one end, no pipework removal for service is necessary. The heat transfer surface could also be augmented if the capacity is increased or if the temperature program is changed.

General description
Advantages The plate heat exchanger concept, with flow-through channels formed by corrugated plates and the heat transfer taking place through the thin plates, is an extremely efficient heat exchange technique. The turbulent flow, coupled with low fouling factors and high heat transfer coefficients, means that it is possible to operate with a small temperature difference in evaporating and chilled water temperatures. This in turn provides a good operational economy with high C.O.P. values.
Fig. 4 SWPHE becomes more compact and request a lower filling of refrigerant for the same duty.
Characteristics of cassettes The cassettes are designed in three different angles of corrugation: Low Theta = for higher flow and high temperature approach Medium Theta = for medium flow and medium temperature approach High Theta = for lower flow and low temperature approach The Medium Theta cassette is a mixture of High and Low Theta plates. New plate cassettes in alternative material can be inserted when more corrosive cooling water is introduced. The following plate materials are standard: AISI 304 AISI 316 Titanium
It also means that a semi-welded plate heat exchanger becomes much more compact than a shell & tube heat exchanger for the same duty. The practical advantages are: lower weight smaller space requirements lower refrigerant filling.

General description
Mechanical aspects and freezing The SWPHE is not sensitive to temperature shocks, and there is no vibration due to the small distance between the support points. There is no pressure retaining welds in the SWPHE. Due to the turbulent flow, freezing risks are small, but the flexible design will accommodate expansion, and no damage will be caused should freezing occur. Leak detection Intermixing of media is not possible with the double sealing. The diagonal gaskets form the weakest components, and any leak will occur through a gasket, which is externally detectable for both media sides. The Alfa Laval SWPHE is designed with no internal welds, and hence there will be no internal leaks. Guarantee and maintenance The guarantee for the SWPHE is 12 months from the delivery date. The
guarantee is not valid if the unit is operated under conditions other than those specified. It is very important that the unit is installed and set up according to the instructions. Gasket replacement of SWPHE will be recommended for evaporator/ condenser at an interval of 5/4 years for ring gaskets and 10/8 years for field gaskets. In case of fouling growth, the SWPHE can be cleaned by CIP on site. A mobile CIP could be docked to the unit and then circulate CIP liquid. For more thorough service the cassettes can be sent in for total reconditioning, where the gaskets will be removed, the cassette cleaned and new gaskets provided.

Fig. 5 Due to flexible design, no damage will occur when freezing.

General description - All-welded plate heat exchangers
All-welded plate heat exchanger The Alfa Laval all-welded plate heat exchanger AlfaRex consists of corrugated plates that are laser-welded together one by one in alternative grooves to form a plate pack. The plate pack is assembled between a frame plate and pressure plate and secured with tightening bolts. Extended connections are located in the frame cover with linings welded to the plate pack. Applications The AlfaRex offers the gasket free solution for the extreme demands applied to heat exchangers in refrigeration circuits with both flooded flow and dry expansion systems. The AlfaRex is specifically designed for aggressive media, ammonia, and carbon dioxide and for use of the new HCFC and HFC refrigerants. The unit can handle temperatures from - 50 to 350C (-58 to 660F) and pressures up to 40 barg (580 psig). Typical duties are evaporator, condenser, cascade cooler, desuperheater, liquid subcooler or oil cooler in both residential and industrial air conditioning and refrigeration plants. The AlfaRex is also used as heat exchanger in absorption systems. The technology The plate pack is welded in only two directions (x and y), in the plane of the plates, which allows free expansion and contraction of the entire plate pack in the third direction (z), along the length of the plate pack. Through this patented method the AlfaRex can cope with fluctuations in temperature and pressure, it endures minimum 20,000 temperature cycles with amplitude of 90C and a temperature gradient of 5C per second. Advantages By using the corrugated plate heat exchanger concept, a high turbulent
Fig. 1 The all-welded plate heat exchanger consists of a plate pack of herringbone patterned metal plates with portholes for passage of the two fluids. The heat transfer takes place through the thin plates in stainless steel, titanium or SMO and it is a highly efficient heat exchange technique.
flow is created with low fouling tendencies and the AlfaRex becomes very efficient regarding heat transfer. This means that the AlfaRex has a compact design and installation is easy, the hold up volume is reduced and it requires very little maintenance. In comparison with a Shell & Tube heat exchanger, the AlfaRex offers several advantages: a more compact design that minimizes installation costs no corrosion efficient heat transfer reduced maintenance lower refrigerant volume absolute gasket free heat exchanger Features Besides different press pattern and various plate materials, the AlfaRex offers multiple pass arrangement. These features contribute to a flexible heat exchanger design. Plate modules and connection arrangements AlfaRex is assembled in modules of 10, which means that for every 10 plates there will be five channels for the brine flow with connections in S3/S4 as standard, and four channels for the refrigerant flow with connections in S1/S2 as standard. In order to improve fatigue performance all connections have Bellow type lining. The model TM10-B is manufactured with maximum 20 modules per unit, the model TM20-B is manufactured with maximum 30 modules per unit. The following plate materials are standard: AISI 316 SMO Titanium Easy cleaning with Cleaning-In-Place The all-welded construction makes the AlfaRex suitable for Cleaning-In-Place (CIP). The cleaning operation is fast and efficient and obtained by the turbulent flow created in the channels together with a chemical cleaning liquid. A mobile CIP unit could be docked to the heat exchanger and CIP liquid circulated. Guarantee The guarantee for the AlfaRex is valid 18 months from the delivery date or 12 months for the unit in operation. The guarantee is not valid if the heat exchanger is operated under conditions other than those specified. It is very important that the unit have been installed and set up according to the instructions.

Fig. 3 The AlfaRex does not only influence on size and weight but owing to its small refrigerant volume and gas-tightness it also responds to the rising demands for security and reduced environmental influence.
