Alfa Laval spiral heat exchangers Problem solvers for tough applications

Spiral heat exchanger:Alfa Laval spiral heat exchanger - 2

• Reliable operation, virtually no fouling and clogging • Huge savings on maintenance costs • Energy and fuel savings • Short payback times Heat exchanger downtime getting you down? Does your process involve fouling fluids, sludges, emulsions, slurries, fibres or particle loaded liquids? Do your shell-and-tube heat exchangers suffer from fouling and clogging, resulting in costly downtime and huge maintenance bills that keep you awake at night? If so, the fouling and clogging probably also lead to other costs, such as higher fuel consumption in the boiler and increased electricity...

Spiral heat exchanger:Alfa Laval spiral heat exchanger - 3

Emissions eliminated, energy savings Avdeevskiy coke processing works, Ukraine, replaced two open final gas cooling systems, using scrubbers, with Alfa Laval closed systems utilizing spiral heat exchanger columns. Harmful emissions were eliminated. Reduced pumping requirement and elimination of water treatment provided substantial energy savings. Benefits of Alfa Laval SHEs • Virtually no fouling or clogging • Reliable operation, maximum uptime • Easy to open and clean, low maintenance costs • Low installation costs, less pipework and steel structures • Energy savings due to high heat...

• elf-cleaning design S • igh thermal efficiency H • aste heat recovery W • o dead spots or stagnation N The heat exchanger that cleans itself Alfa Laval spiral heat exchangers (SHEs) are based on an ingenious design. It provides optimum heat transfer and flow conditions for a wide variety of fluids, with a built-in self-cleaning effect, while keeping the overall size of the unit to a minimum. An SHE works like this… Alfa Laval SHEs are circular units containing two concentric spiral flow channels, one for each fluid. The different media flow counter-currently in these channels with no risk...

Fouling minimized, maintenance costs reduced In its new refinery, a Russian oil company replaced 12 shell-and-tube heat exchangers in the visbreaking process with eight Alfa Laval SHEs. Since there is hardly any fouling, the company saves€1.6 m Euro per year on maintenance and production is more stable and profitable. Waste heat recovery The secret is the true counter-current flow. It enables crossing temperature situations where the cold fluid can be heated to temperatures very close to those of the hot fluid. The closer the temperature approach between two fluids, the more heat is...

In our four main types, the shape and size of the spiral channels can be further customized to form a perfect match for the demands associated with a wide range of process fluids, thermal duties and industrial applications. Spiral Heat Exchanger Type 3 Spiral Heat Exchanger Type 4 Two in one – cross-flow and counter-current paths in the same unit Column solutions The Type 3 SHE is often called a “steam heater” and has a mixture of Type 1 and Type 2 features. The main feature is that the liquid being heated by the steam is generally fouling, therefore the circuit is designed to be accessible...

A look inside the products• Spiral Heat Exchanger Type 1 Spiral Heat Exchanger Type 2 Maximum heat recovery with countercurrent flow Cross-flow condensing with lowest possible pressure drop The Type 1 is almost always a liquid/liquid heat exchanger. In most cases it is mounted horizontally and can be opened at each end. Each channel circuit is seal welded on one side and open on the other. The open channel is sealed by the gasket face of the end cover. The fluid in the two channels always follows the spiral direction, from the outside towards the centre, or the centre to the outside. The...

Spiral Heat Exchanger Type 3 Spiral Heat Exchanger Type 4 Two-in-one – cross-flow and counter-current paths in the same unit Column solutions The Type 3 spiral is often called a “steam heater” and has a mixture of Type 1 and Type 2 features. It can be horizontal or vertical. The main feature is that the liquid being heated by the steam is generally fouling which means that the circuit must be accessible for cleaning. The Type 4 spiral refers to a spiral that is integrated into a column, often as part of a distillation process. In most cases the spiral operates similarly to the Type 2....
