Air conditioning and heat pump solutions
When it comes to air conditioning and heat pumps, energy efficiency together with requirements for new refrigerants with low GWP, Global Warming Potential, are essential. Alfa Laval is working close with customers and universities to accelerate the development and to be able to offer plate heat exchangers that are designed to meet and the new application regulations.
Maintaining an optimal indoor climate
In the air-conditioning chiller itself, various system manufacturers incorporate Alfa Laval brazed plate or shell-and-tube heat exchangers as liquid evaporators and/or condensers. In bigger buildings, additional Alfa Laval heat exchangers are installed. Gasketed plate heat exchangers with very close temperature approach are used in the heating or cooling system for various intermediate duties. Air liquid coolers or condensers are installed in the roof to remove excess heat.
Enabling sustainable, efficient and safe heating and cooling with propane
Together, Alfa Laval and Simaka Energie- und Umwelttechnik GmbH designed an innovative heat pump solution for a Swiss supermarket chain. The system is built with three high-capacity Alfa Laval brazed plate heat exchangers and uses low-GWP propane as refrigerant, delivering long-term sustainability, energy efficiency, and a safe operation.
The Alfa Laval AC65 – total efficiency for residential heat pump applications
Offering thermal efficiency, developmental efficiency, and process efficiency, the AC65 is a next-generation heat exchanger for the high-volume heat pump market. It offers unrivalled quality and exceptional performance with the lowest possible charge, making it the perfect fit for low-GWP refrigerants, including R290.
The Alfa Laval AC540 family–optimized for low-GWP refrigerants
The world of refrigerants is evolving rapidly, driven by environmental concerns, and by the challenge of achieving ever-higher efficiency from the new generation of low-GWP refrigerants, such as R32 and carbon dioxide. To address the many new challenges facing the HVAC industry, Alfa Laval developed the AC540 family of brazed heat exchangers, with designs that are optimized to work with the refrigerant of your choice.
