AC230 Brazed plate heat exchanger

Description

AC230 is the innovative Alfa Laval brazed heat exchanger specifically developed to work in air conditioning, refrigeration, and heat pump applications. AC230 is a single and double refrigerant circuit unit developed for chillers in the 50-250 kW range and heat pumps in the 30-150 kW; it is suitable to work as an evaporator and as condenser. As ACH230 it can be used in CO₂ cascade systems.

Possible applications

- Evaporator in chiller and heat pumps
- Condenser in chiller and heat pumps
