Condensing heat transfer efficiency.The proven heat transfer efficiency of Alfa Laval's spiral heat exchangers heat exchanger Any of several devices that transfer heat from a hot to a cold fluid. In many engineering applications, one fluid needs to be heated and another cooled, a requirement economically accomplished by a heat exchanger. makes them ideal for use in a variety of processes. Now, the company has introduced the ALSHE Cond, a new price-competitive version designed specifically for use in typical two-phase processes as a condenser condenser Device for reducing a gas or vapour to a liquid. Condensers are used in power plants to condense exhaust steam from turbines and in refrigeration plants to condense refrigerant vapours, such as ammonia and Freons. , reflux condenser Noun 1. reflux condenser - condenser such that vapor over a boiling liquid is condensed and flows back into the vessel to prevent its contents from boiling dry condenser - an apparatus that converts vapor into liquid , reboiler, gas cooler and heater. Unlike the conventional spiral heat exchanger in which the media flow in direct counter-current flow, the ALSE ALSE Aviation Life Support Equipment ALSE Aircraft Life Support Equipment ALSE Apollo Lunar Sounder Experiment ALSE Airlift Support Element ALSE Average Link Spectral Efficiency ALSE Ada Language System Extension ALSE Area of Late Successional Emphasis Cond is configured so that one stream is in spiral flow while the other flows across it, in parallel to its axis. The spiral flow channel generally accommodates the cooling medium while the cross flow channel is dedicated to the gas or vapour to be cooled. This imaginative design ensures that the unit can handle high liquid velocities in the closed, spiral channel and large gas or vapour volumes and low pressure drop on the other side. The liquid velocity generated in the spiral channel serves a dual function: It increases heat transfer efficiency, and it virtually eliminates fouling since any obstruction, by reducing the cross-section of the channel, serves only to increase turbulence which scrubs the channel wall clean. On the gas side, minimal vapour pressured drop is readily achieved so high capacity vacuum systems vacuum system Urology A mechanical system used to facilitate and maintain an erection; an erection erector.

Despite this large capacity, the ALSHE Cond is a very compact unit, thanks to the wrapped cylindrical cyl·in·dri·cal adj.

This ensures not only that capital and installation costs are much lower than for a competitive design such as a shell & tube exchanger but that the space required for space and installation is reduced by as much as 80%. There are currently four models in the ALSHE Cond range with the ability to handle temperatures up to a maximum of 3000[degrees]C, a minimum of -1000[degrees]C and design pressures of up to 8 barg.
