Our wide range of industrial gasketed plate heat exchangers is suitable for

all types of industry and multiple applications from heating, cooling and

heat recovery to condensation and evaporation.

We are constantly looking to extend and upgrade the range, adding new

performance criteria and greater flexibility. What’s termed ‘next-generation’

today will soon be standard for the entire Alfa Laval Industrial line.

How the Industrial line works

The heat transfer area of a gasketed plate heat exchanger consists of a series

of corrugated plates, assembled between a frame and pressure plates to retain

pressure. Gaskets act as seals between the plates. Fluids normally run counter-

currently through the heat exchanger. This gives the most efficient thermal

performance and enables a very close temperature approach, ie the temperature

difference between the exiting process medium and the entering service medium.
