Applications of Alfa Laval CB400 Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger
1. HVAC & Commercial Building Energy Systems
- Central Air Conditioning & Chillers: Functions efficiently as high-performance evaporators and condensers in large commercial chiller units, maximizing the overall Coefficient of Performance (COP).
- Heat Pump Systems: Perfect for large-scale air-to-water or water-to-water heat pumps, optimizing heat recovery and geothermal energy utilization.
- District Heating: Serves as a reliable substation heat exchanger, handling high temperature and pressure variances effortlessly in municipal centralized heating networks.
2. Industrial Machinery & Fluid Power
- Hydraulic Power Units: Provides continuous, rapid oil cooling for large-scale hydraulic stations, maintaining optimal oil viscosity and preventing system component wear.
- Compressor Oil Cooling: Effectively dissipates intensive heat from rotary screw or centrifugal air compressors, ensuring stable equipment operation and extended service intervals.
- Industrial Process Cooling: Handles demanding, continuous cooling loops in heavy manufacturing, injection molding, and metal processing with minimal maintenance requirements.
3. Refrigeration & Marine Engineering
- Refrigeration Cascades & Units: Ideal for industrial refrigeration systems, supporting eco-friendly refrigerants under high-pressure configurations.
- Marine Systems: Engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of marine environments, widely utilized in onboard jacket water cooling, lube oil cooling, and auxiliary machinery heat transfer loops.
Technical Features and Advantages
① High Flow & Extreme Thermal Efficiency
Featuring a generous channel volume of 0.74 L per channel, the CB400 accommodates high volume flows up to 200 m³/h while maintaining remarkably low pressure drops. The optimized plate corrugation triggers high fluid turbulence, achieving superior heat transfer even at low flow velocities.
② Compact Footprint & Cost-Effective Integration
Compared to traditional shell-and-tube heat exchangers of equivalent capacity, the CB400 reduces required installation space by up to 80%. This compact, lightweight design drastically cuts down structural installation costs and simplifies piping layouts.
③ Robust Copper Brazed Construction
By eliminating the need for rubber gaskets and thick frame plates, the 100% copper-brazed structure ensures a completely sealed, leak-proof performance. It safely operates under high-temperature ranges from -196°C to +225°C and pressures up to 30 bar.
