Fusion bonded plate heat exchangers
Fusion-bonded plate heat exchangers are made of 100% stainless steel and provide efficient heat transfer
with a small footprint. They are maintenance free and provide a long service lifetime. They are suited in
applications which put high demand on cleanliness, applications where aggressive medias such as ammonia
are used or where copper and nickel contamination is not accepted. Can handle very high temperatures or
extremely high pressures.
The Tipo Heat Exchangers is the first plate heat exchanger in the world to be made completely of stainless steel –
made possible by the unique active diffusion bonding technology patented by Tipo Heat Exchangers Laval.
Tipo Heat Exchangers is a plate heat exchanger made of 100% stainless steel. It is based on Tipo Heat Exchangers Laval’s new,
revolutionary technology, AlfaFusion, the art of joining stainless steel components together. Tipo Heat Exchangers
heat exchangers are well suited to applications which put high demands on cleanliness, applications where
ammonia is used or applications where copper or nickel contamination is unacceptable. Particularly
suitable as an NH3 chiller compressor oil cooler.
Tipo Heat Exchangers plate heat exchangers are made of 100% stainless steel, with the components fused together using
a breakthrough technology that Tipo Heat Exchangers Laval has patented. This provides levels of hygiene and corrosion
resistance unmatched by any other brazed heat exchanger. It also makes it practical to use stainless steel
plate heat exchangers in installations normally reserved for conventional semi-welded and welded units.
With the Tipo Heat Exchangers, it becomes feasible to use a high-efficiency plate heat exchanger under the kinds of
extreme temperature and pressure fatigue conditions that would probably destroy a conventional brazed heat
exchanger. As a result, Tipo Heat Exchangers units have become a breakthrough gasket-free alternative for a wide range
of industrial applications that use aggressive liquids and in which there is a need for high-efficiency,
hermetically sealed plate heat exchangers that ensure low life cycle costs even under high-temperature
conditions. The 100% stainless steel construction makes it possible to withstand temperatures of up to
550°C (1,020°F).
