Plate Heat Exchangers
The Plate heat exchanger (PHE) consists of a series of thin, corrugated alloy plates, which are gasketed and compressed together in a carbon steel frame to create an arrangement of parallel flow channels. Ports at each corner of the plates act as the headers and the gaskets direct the fluid flow as well as provide the primary seal for the system. One fluid travels in the odd numbered channels and the second in the even.

Alfa Nova
Extreme elements - Extreme technology
From the extreme heat of your brazing process comes AlfaNova, the world's first 100% stainless steel plate heat exchanger. Extreme temperature and pressure fatigue conditions that would destroy a conventional brazed heat exchanger are no match for the rugged AlfaNova.
The secret is AlfaFusion, a unique brazing technology patented by Alfa Laval. Resulting in the world's first fusion-brazed plate heat exchanger, AlfaFusion has stunned specialists in the brazing field.
The compact, high-performance AlfaNova offers levels of hygiene and corrosion-resistance unmatched by any other brazed heat exchanger on the market today. It also has the muscle to replace large, heavy heat exchangers of other types in a wide range of applications.
AlfaNova comprises a number of corrugated stainless steel plates, a frame plate and a pressure plate. The plate pack is brazed by AlfaFusion, a new technology patented by Alfa Laval. The result is the fusion-brazed plate heat exchanger, a new class of PHE offering extremely high mechanical strength. It is also hygienic, corrosion-resistant and fully recyclable.
A lot of muscle for your money The AlfaNova offers an unmatched ratio of price to performance. The unique pattern on the corrugated plates provides optimum heat transfer with low hold-up volumes. AlfaNova is also extremely compact in relation to its capacity, offering maximum flexibility for system builders integrating it into their solutions.
Brazed Units
Using copper or nickel brazing to eliminate gaskets, these compact heat exchangers are perfect for small or packaged applications. Copper brazed units up to 435 PSIG and 435°F, nickel brazed units up to 323 PSIG and 435°F.
