Alfa Laval M10 Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger

Description

A DN100 gasketed plate heat exchanger for process and utility duties

The Alfa Laval M10 is a gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchanger of the Alfa Laval Industrial line, offered with a large selection of plate and gasket types. It is used for heating, cooling and heat recovery in industries listed in the leaflet such as energy and utilities, HVAC and refrigeration, chemicals, machinery, marine, steel and water treatment. Besides standard single plates it is available with double-wall plates, an extra precaution against intermixing of fluids, and the plate pack can be extended or reduced as the duty changes.

Features that help with service

Depending on configuration, the M10 has a corner-guided alignment system, chocolate-pattern distribution area, glued or clip-on gaskets, a leak chamber, fixed bolt heads, key-hole bolt openings, lifting lugs, lining, lock washers and tightening bolt covers. Extended pressure and temperature ratings may be available on request; not every combination is configurable and the global range may differ by region.

What to confirm before ordering

Provide both fluids, flows, temperatures, allowable pressure drops, design pressure and temperature, and the plate and gasket material (the choice depends on the fluids, for example chlorides). The plate count is then selected for the duty. For smaller duties see the Alfa Laval M6; more equipment is listed under Cooling.

About brand

Heat transfer, separation and fluid handling are the three fields Alfa Laval has worked in since 1883. The company from Lund, Sweden, is the reference name for plate heat exchangers and for hygienic pumps and valves in food plants. Seven Star LLC lists the Alfa Laval LKH hygienic centrifugal pump and the M6 gasketed plate heat exchanger, and supplies Alfa Laval equipment and parts to plants in Oman and the GCC.

Alfa Laval products on this page

The LKH is the premium hygienic centrifugal pump in the Alfa Laval range, with a semi-open impeller for gentle product handling. It is built in 13 sizes for flows up to 500 m³/h and is used in dairy, food, beverage and personal care lines. Related versions include LKH Prime (self-priming) and LKH UltraPure. The M6 is a gasketed plate heat exchanger whose plate pack can be opened for cleaning or extended with more plates.

Ordering Alfa Laval pumps and heat exchanger parts: what we need

For a pump, send the type, impeller diameter, seal type and elastomer, motor data and the serial number. For a plate heat exchanger, the serial number on the frame plate is the key, as it identifies plate material, gasket material and the number of plates. For a new unit, give both fluids, flows, inlet and outlet temperatures and the allowed pressure drop.
