Compabloc - welded heat exchanger range - 1

Application The Alfa Laval Compabloc is a fully welded compact heat exchanger designed for the complete range of process and utility duties. The Compabloc range provides the most efficient, cost-effective, compact and cleanable heat exchanger solution available today. After 20 years on the market, the Compabloc has shown itself to be the market leader in terms of life-cycle costs and energy savings. Design Alfa Laval designed the Compabloc range of welded heat exchangers with a focus on performance, compactness, and serviceability. The heart of the Compabloc is a stack of corrugated heat transfer plates in 316L stainless steel, or other high-grade material. The plates are laser welded (models CP30 and above) and form a compact core. This core is then enclosed and supported by four corner girders, top and bottom heads and four side panels (see Sectional view of Compabloc). These components are bolted together and can be quickly taken apart for inspection, service and cleaning. The design can be configured in single or multi-pass arrangements in either co-current or counter-current operation, for liquid-to-liquid or two-phase duties. Operating Principles The two media in the Compabloc heat exchanger flow in alternately welded channels between the corrugated plates. These corrugated plates promote high turbulence which provides high heat transfer efficiency and help minimize fouling. The media flows in a cross-flow arrangement within each pass (see figure below) while the overall flow arrangement is counter-current for a multi-pass unit (if required the unit can also be designed with overall co-current operation). Each pass is separated from the adjacent passes by a pressed baffle which forces the fluid to turn between the plate pack and the panel. Compabloc’s flexible pass arrangements make it suitable for liquid-to-liquid duties with dissimilar flow rates, or two phase condensation or reboiler applications. COMPABLOC compact heat exchanger range High-performance fully welded heat exchanger for process industries Options The Compabloc is available in virtually any material that can be pressed and welded, including: • 316L SST • 254 SMO • Titanium • Alloy C-276 • 904L SST (UB6) • Alloy B-2 • Alloy C-22 • Incoloy 825 • Inconel 600 • Tantalum The panels and nozzles can be un-lined or lined using the same materials as the plate pack. The nozzle size is variable and can be selected independently for each side.

Process Optimization Because of the Compabloc’s unique design concept the possibilities for process optimization and flexibility are limitless. The Compabloc can be designed with both single-pass or multi-pass configurations. For condensation, reboiling and liquid-to-liquid duties without temperature cross, the singlepass configuration is suitable with its total cross-flow. The large cross flow area and short flow path fit low-pressure conden-sing duties and allow very low pressure drops. A multi-pass configuration is suitable for duties with temperature cross and close temperature...
