Alfa Laval Offers New

Plate Heat Exchanger

Steam Heater Line

Alfa Laval introduced a line of plate heat exchangers for steam heating in the marine industries, reportedly the first gasketed plate heat exchangers series designed specifically for use with indus- trial steam and includes two models suitable in marine duties as jacket water coolers, tank cleaning water heaters and dumping condensers. This new steam heater series extends design tempera- tures to 350 degrees F and increases

Orkot® Marine Bearings al grades to perfectly match application requirements.

Classification society approvals. 24 hour service (United States) design pressures. The two models are the TS6 and TS20M. The smaller model, the TS6, has a capacity of 2 to 18 MW at a steam condensation temperature of 300 degrees F and 2 to 12 MW at a steam condensation temperature of 248 degrees F. The larger model, theTS20M,

Orkot® Marine Bearings are offered as customengineered components (to 0 2.2m) and as semi-finished tubes and plates with stocks worldwide.

The new TS-M plate design is optimized for condensing steam in one channel and heating liquid in the alter- nating channel. The robust construction of this series eliminates thermal fatigue and, as a result of its low hold-up vol- ume, allows rapid temperature control.
