The Alfa Laval Compabloc heat exchanger has proved its effectiveness in practice when working with aggressive media, under conditions of high temperatures and pressures. In addition, Compabloc is backed by a single supplier with deep process knowledge and a global network of service centers. Reliable, energy-saving technology plus a partner you can count on for the long term is what will help you use natural resources more efficiently and environmentally.

Unique features

Compabloc is the unsurpassed leader, standing apart from other heat exchangers, including block heat exchangers of other designs. Its uniqueness is based on our patented innovative solutions, which are based on our many years of experience in the field of heat transfer. Together, these features increase reliability and efficiency, allowing you to save energy and make better use of natural resources.

Principle of operation

Hot and cold streams flow in adjacent channels. Corrugated plates provide high flow turbulence, which provides a significantly higher heat transfer efficiency with a heat transfer surface area 50–80% smaller than that of shell-and-tube counterparts. Turbulence also reduces the rate of deposit formation. The unique design of the Compabloc plates eliminates the appearance of “dead zones” inside the heat exchanger.
