Alfa Laval Compabloc

The Alfa Laval Compabloc is the original bloc-type welded heat exchanger with a proven reputation for efficient, reliable performance. It’s developed to handle aggressive media, high temperatures and high pressures.

The perfect choice for challenging reboiler, condenser and liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger duties in chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas and refinery parts. The total result is both lower capital and operating costs, along with increased production rates and profitability.

Its compact design is simple to install and up to five times more efficient than a comparable shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Every Compabloc is custom-built and configured to meet the specific condition in which it will operate. Ensuring that performance is always optimised for the intended duty, providing efficiency for your processes.

Product Benefits

High thermal efficiency saves energy, boosts performance and reduces CO² emissions.
Heat recovery with lower costs means very short payback time.
The compact design of the Compabloc reduces installation costs and resolves bottlenecks for increased production.
Compabloc is fully mechanically cleanable, making maintenance simpler, quicker and more cost-effective.
Durable, laser-welded construction minimises fouling and eliminates corrosion issues.
A small heat transfer area also makes it economically feasible to design your heat exchanger using highly corrosion-resistant materials. This leads to a higher level of reliability with a reduced risk of unplanned stops due to corrosion, along with increased uptime and extended service life.
