AlfaCond

Florida Heat Transfer is pleased to introduce Alfa Laval’s AlfaCond condenser . The AlfaCond is the first plate condenser in the world that is specifically designed for condensing applications . The AlfaCond is specially designed for vacuum condensation , with a large vapor inlet connection and two small condensate outlets . The medium-sized cooling water connections are located in the center of the plate.

The AlfaCond consists of a plate pack with plates welded together in pairs to form so-called cassettes . The plate pattern is specifically designed for optimal condensation , with an asymmetric configuration that features a large gap on the vapor side and a small gap on the cooling water side .

The advantages of the AlfaCond for condensing duties is lower cost because the higher heat transfer efficiency means that much less heat transfer area is needed compared to a conventional shell-and-tube . The compactness of the design also saves space , which reduces transport , erection and installation costs . The AlfaCond is usually the best choice for high-vapor volume condensing applications .
