GL
The Alfa Laval GL product line is an ultra-compact, high-efficiency solution engineered to meet the unique challenges of simultaneously working with gas and liquid media. A revolutionary new design handles very high temperatures with very low pressure drop. Manufactured with Alfa Laval’s proven copper-brazing technology, they also ensure the reliable performance you expect from the world leader in thermal transfer.
Handle more with brazed gas-to-liquid technology
- Our standard gas-to-liquid models support gas temperatures up to 750°C
- For special applications, temperatures above 1400°C are possible
- Very low pressure drop in asymmetric applications thanks to patented “dimple” plate design
- Condensate from the gas medium drains easily thanks to condensate connection included with the unit
Como funciona
Alfa Laval gas-to-liquid heat exchangers use thin, corrugated stainless steel plates to provide heat transfer from one medium to the other. Copper brazing seals the media in the plate pack, resulting in a high-efficiency heat exchanger that consists solely of surfaces that actively contribute to heat transfer. Contact points between the plates are also brazed, which improves resistance to pressure and temperature fatigue.
The arrangement of the channels formed between the plates ensures that media flow through alternate channels in a countercurrent pattern, which further optimizes the efficiency of the heat transfer. One channel is far larger than the other channel, enabling the unit to handle very large volumetric flow rates.
Meet the new AlfaNova GL50
The GL50 is an asymmetric gas-to-liquid plate heat exchanger made from 100% stainless steel. It is small enough to hold in one hand, but can handle gas flows of 250 cubic meter per hour, as well as inlet gas temperatures up to 750°C, with exceptional performance.
