Plate-and-shell heat exchangers with unique features
Thanks to its unique design, an Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchanger outperforms traditional heat exchanger solutions by far. Find out more about the unique features that make Alfa Laval Packinox the industry standard in catalytic reforming and paraxylene production.
Explosion forming
High-strength plates with long, reliable lifetime
The pattern on a Packinox heat transfer plate is formed by the shockwave from an underwater explosion. This one-step operation minimizes residual stresses in the plates, making them mechanically stronger. The end result is very high operating reliability and longevity.
HyperCut
Unique plate design that increases reliability and reduces pressure drop
The design of our patented HyperCut plates increases the mechanical robustness and operating reliability of your Packinox heat exchanger, reduces the pressure drop over the distribution areas, and improves operability. This makes it possible to maximize heat recovery, and in turn minimize size and CAPEX, or to reduce the overall pressure drop.
Take a look at the video to the right to find out more about how you can improve reliability and efficiency in your operations with HyperCut.
Spray Bar
Spray Bar optimizes mixing
Internal mixing of the liquid feed and recycle gas is unique for Packinox heat exchangers. Our patented Spray Bar technology ensures perfect mixing, resulting in better heat transfer, less mechanical stress and more reliable operation compared to mixing in the inlet pipe.
