The easy way to reduce your energy costs and increase energy efficiency
A refund is just the start of your savings potential with the new exchange programme. Alfa Laval’s innovative heat exchanger technology will significantly increase the energy efficiency of your processes. That means drastically lower power consumption and carbon emissions, along with a significant reduction in your long-term operating costs.
Minimum risk. Maximum thermal performance.
Introducing our new generation of double-wall brazed heat exchangers. Built with our three-barrier technique, the new Alfa Laval double-wall brazed plate heat exchangers give you the greatest protection against media mixing. Unlike traditional double-wall designs, there is limited loss to efficiency, ensuring your system achieves the highest possible thermal performance.
Reduce your charge. Increase your potential.
Discover hitherto untapped potential for greater sustainability in commercial refrigeration, ground source heat pumps and more. Alfa Laval CB24 is the market’s first compact condenser fully optimized for propane (R290). With advanced engineering – including our patented asymmetrical channel plate design – it’s possible to minimize the refrigerant charge while boosting thermal efficiency. You get a safe, reliable, sustainable solution that’s fully compliant with the strictest regulations.
Modern thinking for more possibilities
Introducing the Alfa Laval CB210 brazed plate heat exchanger
CB210 combines all of Alfa Laval leading heat exchanger innovations into one
new, groundbreaking design. With higher capacity, improved efficiency and superior
thermal performance, you get more possibilities for today’s heating and cooling duties.
Key applications
Residential heating
CB units can be used in a variety of residential positions, including for domestic hot water and solar heating applications.
Heat pumps
Alfa Laval brazed heat exchangers can be used as condensers, economizers, evaporators and more.
Engine cooling
The efficient, robust and compact design of CB units is ideal for demanding engine duties.
AHRI for HVAC
Alfa Laval CB heat exchangers are available with certification according to the Liquid-to-Liquid Heat Exchanger programme of The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). For heat exchangers used in HVAC applications, this programme offers independent, third-party verification of thermal performance according to manufacturers’ published specifications.
How it works
Thin, corrugated stainless steel transfers heat, while copper brazing seals the media in the plate pack. The result is 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, generally in a countercurrent pattern, which further optimizes the efficiency of the heat transfer. A co-current configuration is also available.

PressureSecure
Kekuatan untuk tugas menantang yang tak tertandingi
Desain pelat inovatif kami mendukung jangkauan aplikasi bersuhu dan bertekanan tinggi terluas. Unit dapat berjalan menggunakan pelat yang lebih tipis dan lebih sedikit, yang berarti penggunaan bahan baku lebih sedikit, konsumsi energi lebih rendah, biaya refrigeran berkurang, dan siklus hidup peralatan lebih lama.
REFuture
Investasi andal untuk refrigeran masa depan
Sebagai penggerak inovatif dalam pengembangan solusi untuk refrigeran alami, Alfa Laval sangat berpengalaman dalam menghasilkan produk yang memungkinkan penggunaan refrigeran generasi baru dan rendah GWP untuk membantu Anda mencapai tujuan keberlanjutan dan segala peraturan legislatif.
FlexFlow™
Kinerja termal yang unggul
Desain pelat asimetris Alfa Laval yang dipatenkan adalah salah satu dari banyak inovasi unik yang memberikan peningkatan efisiensi termal berkat penurunan tekanan yang dioptimalkan dan peningkatan turbulensi. Tidak hanya mengurangi konsumsi energi, tetapi juga mengurangi volume refrigeran dan bahan baku.
IceSafe
Pembekuan yang terkendali dan tidak merusak
Untuk aplikasi yang memerlukannya, kami dapat menyediakan penukar panas pelat yang dirancang untuk memungkinkan pembentukan kristal es dalam kondisi pengoperasian tertentu, tetapi tidak ditempatkan pada area sensitif. Hal ini memastikan kinerja yang andal dan masa pakai produk yang lama.
