Plate surface condenser for vapour under vacuum
In various industries such as bioethanol production, sugar processing, and small power plants, condensing vapour under vacuum is a critical process. Challenges like limited space and the need for high efficiency often demand specialized condensers for optimal performance.
Condenses vapour efficiently under vacuum
The AlfaCond from Alfa Laval is a highly efficient plate surface condenser designed specifically for condensing vapour under vacuum. Its compact size makes it ideal for installations where space is a constraint. AlfaCond serves as a preferable alternative to bulky indirect shell-and-tube condensers by offering ease of installation and maintenance. It features the glued gasket system, which ensures gasket stability, and a unique porthole configuration designed for vacuum condensation. The condenser can be configured with or without subcooling of the condensate, and non-condensables are removed through the vacuum system. With its Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) capability, AlfaCond is easy to maintain. It is suitable for vacuum condensers in evaporation systems, ethanol condensers in bioethanol plants, and more. The unit is backed by Alfa Laval’s global service network, ensuring reliable support whenever needed.
