Spiral heat exchanger
Alfa Laval
Unique shape has unique properties
A spiral heat exchanger is precisely what it says - a circular heat exchanger with two concentric spiral channels, one for each fluid. The curved channels provide optimum heat transfer and flow conditions for a wide variety of fluids, while keeping the overall size of the unit to a minimum.
Features and benefits of a spiral heat exchanger
-Fully engineered to meet the needs of every customer
-Self-cleaning effect reduces operating cost
-Low maintenance cost due to easy access
-High heat transfer efficiency, higher than in shell & tubes
-Unique ability to handle two highly fouling fluids
-Every unit is fully drainable
-Condensers have virtually no vapour side pressure drop
-Column mounting of condensers reduces installation costs
-Design experience from more than 40 years of manufacturing
