In order to provide efficient and safe hot water heating, Alfa Laval has launched the AquaMicro self-contained sub-station, which is designed for apartments and is ready for connection to a suitable district heating network.
Hot water from the district heating system is used to heat the water in the apartment indirectly via a plate heat exchanger, equipped with acid-resistant stainless steel plates.
The product incorporates a temperature control system and can be wall-mounted.
Plate Heat Exchangers from Alfa Laval's T20BW/MW range offer up to 425m of heat transfer surface and the capacity to handle 677m/h liquid flow rate in a footprint of 3m. Suitable for evaporating and condensing duties in refrigeration systems, heat transfer efficiency is achieved by a corrugated plate pattern which enables thin materials to be used, promoting the turbulence of liquids.
