Welded spiral heat exchangers for dirty or viscous fluids

Optimizes Heat Transfer and Reduces Fouling

Alfa Laval’s welded spiral heat exchangers are engineered to tackle the most demanding heat transfer challenges. Their unique spiral design minimizes fouling compared to traditional shell-and-tube exchangers by using a self-cleaning mechanism that enhances continuous operation. Ideal for applications in biofuels, chemicals, petrochemicals, and plastic recycling, they efficiently handle viscous, particle-laden, or dirty media. Each unit is built to specification, ensuring a precise thermal fit for duties like biodiesel, ethanol production, and metal processing. With a compact footprint, they integrate seamlessly into existing production lines, reducing installation costs. The exchangers’ advanced thermal efficiency results in up to three times higher performance, which significantly cuts energy consumption and emissions. Available in various materials to suit corrosive environments, these exchangers are designed for easy access and maintenance. Supported by Alfa Laval’s global network, they ensure operational reliability while meeting industry standards for safety and environmental considerations.
