Condensers by Alfa Laval

Using the brazed heat exchanger as an condenser provides a low cost alternative to the conventional shell and tube heat exchangers. The main components the condenser are the same as for the evaporator.

If you're thinking about replacing or upgrading your condensers, whether it be direct or indirect, there are a few options to consider. We offer two different condensing technologies, 1) the Compabloc™ condenser from Alfa Laval, and 2) the AlfaCond,

The refrigerant enters at top left of the exchanger as hot gas and start to condensate on the surface of the channels until it is fully condensated, and then slightly subcooled.

The process is called free condensation, see the light and dark blue arrows for the refrigeration connections location.

The cooling water (brine) flows counter current in the opposite channel and is warmed, see the light and dark red arrows for the water (brine) connections.

Advantages of using a brazed heat exchanger as an condenser:

• Proven performance with thorough testing done at Alfa Laval's refrigeration labs in Sweden and the United States
• Large capacity ranges for condensers from ¼-80 refrigeration tons in brazed units and higher tonnages in other types of heat exchangers
• Most units available from stock
