AlfaCheck monitoring services for heat exchangers

Clean at the right time

AlfaCheck from Alfa Laval is a new condition-based performance monitoring service for plate heat exchangers used in liquid-to-liquid applications. This service uses the actual operating condition of your heat exchanger to determine if, and when, cleaning is required to restore optimal performance. Monitoring takes place during operation to ensure ongoing productivity and usually requires less than an hour per unit.

How AlfaCheck works

AlfaCheck consists of temperature and flow gauges along with a portable computer loaded with a complex thermal analysis program that includes performance benchmarks for every Alfa Laval plate heat exchanger. An Alfa Laval engineer mounts the gauges outside the pipes near the hot- and cold-side inlets and outlets, connects the gauges to the portable computer, and then measures and records temperature differentials and flow rate. If temperature differentials and at least one flow rate are available, our engineer can manually input these values into the AlfaCheck program.
