AlfaCond Brochure

AlfaCond is a new type of plate condenser that is more efficient and cost-effective than traditional shell-and-tube condensers. It uses corrugated plates welded together in cassettes with an asymmetric pattern that maximizes heat transfer and minimizes fouling. AlfaCond is specifically designed for low pressure condensation applications and offers benefits like lower costs, less fouling, easy cleaning and expandability.

AlfaCond consists of a plate pack with plates welded


together in pairs forming so-called cassettes. The plate
pattern is specifically designed for optimal condensation, with
an asymmetric configuration that features a large gap on the
vapour side and a small gap on the cooling water side. The
result – maximizing heat transfer efficiency and minimizing
fouling.
