Brazen HE has no gaskets
15 Jan 2000
The latest addition to Alfa Laval Thermal's growing range of nickel brazed heat exchangers, the NB5 1 is intended for a wide variety of duties in the chemical and process industries.
Its nickel brazed construction eliminates gaskets, making it suitable for applications involving ammonia and other aggressive fluids; while the compact size and low weight ensure that it can be used in the most confined spaces. High levels of turbulence and countercurrent flow ensure very close temperature approaches.
The NB5 1 can handle temperatures from 50 to 400 C and pressures up to 30barg. With stainless steel plates and advanced brazing technology it can cope with acids and alkalis; demineralised water and hygienic fluids and is therefore ideal for any processes where compactness, low weight and leak-free design are essential.
