Semi Welded Plate Heat Exchanger
Alfa lavalSemi Welded Plate Heat Exchanger
The semi-welded plate heat exchanger consists of a se
ries of thin corrugated twin plates (cassettes) which are
laser welded on one side and gasketed on the other side.
They combine most of the flexibility and serviceability of normal gasketed plate heat exchangers while obtaining higher pressure resistance on the welded side.

A comprehensive range for refrigeration applications
Alfa Laval offers a wide range of semi-welded plate heat exchangers for
most types of primary refrigerants and secondary fluids. They are particularly
suitable for refrigeration and heat pump solutions that use ammonia and
carbon dioxide, as they offer high resistance against ice formation and
fatigue stresses from pressure and/or temperature variations.
Depending on size, the units can handle temperature ranges from -45°C (-49°F) to 150°C (302°F) and pressure ranges from below vacuum, up to 63 barg (900 psig). Heat transfer plates can be in stainless steel (AISI304, AISI316, SMO254) or titanium, enabling the handling of a wide variety of fluids with optimal performance
