AlfaCond range Plate condensers AlfaCond 400, AlfaCond 600 and AlfaCond 800 Applications - Condenser in evaporation and crystallization systems - Condenser in distillation systems - Turbine condenser in co-generation power plants Standard design The AlfaCond consists of a plate pack with alternating welded channels and traditional gasketed channels. All plate surfaces in the gasketed channels are easily accessible for inspection and manual cleaning. A frame holds up the plate pack, clamps it together and provides connection with the piping system. The frame consists of two heavy covers of painted carbon steel (the frame plate and the pressure plate) between which the plate pack is pressed together by means of tightening bolts. The frame plate is stationary, while the pressure plate is movable along the carrying bar, which also holds the plate pack. The carrying bar is supported by the frame at one end and a support column at the other end, which are bolted to the foundation. Operating performance - Condensing capacity up to 80,000 kg/hr (176,000 lb/hr) of vapour depending on process fluid and operating conditions. - Operating pressures down to 0,05 bara (0,7 psia).

Working principle AlfaCond is tailored for vacuum condensation. The large vapour inlet connection is placed centrally on the top and the smaller condensate outlet on each side in the bottom. The two medium sized connections for cooling media are centrally placed in the middle, which gives the AlfaCond a symmetrical AlfaCond uses the cassette concept with the plates welded in pairs. The vapour is condensed in the welded channel while the cooling water passes through a gasketed channel. The plate pattern is specifically designed for optimal condensation, with an asymmetric channel configuration...
