With the exception of the fact that they are used on ships, marine heat exchangers are identical to non-marine heat exchangers.
A wide range of applications are possible for heat exchangers. These can be used for both cooling and heating, as their name suggests.
Plate and shell and tube marine heat exchangers are the two main types utilised on board ships in the maritime industry.
Heat exchanger maintenance eliminates fouling and galvanic corrosion from different metals. Heat is transferred between the coolant and the seawater as they travel through a network of distinct tubes, keeping the engine cool and effective.
The Global Marine Heat Exchangers market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The first plate maritime heat exchanger developed with fossil-free steel is Alfa Laval’s goal. Although green steel has a long way to go before it is used to build ships, it may not be long before it is used to build ships’ equipment.
The steel industry is under pressure to decarbonize because it produces around 7% of the world’s carbon emissions.
SSAB has taken the lead in this, and Alfa Laval will be one of its first maritime clients for their green steel.
The Alfa Laval marine plate heat exchangers, which are present on a large number of ships across the world, will be significantly affected by the use of fossil-free steel.
Alfa Laval offers the broadest range of heat exchangers on the market, including plate heat exchangers that may be used with conventional and alternative fuels.
They have cutting-edge characteristics created to produce an all-new degree of reliability and are used in applications ranging from LPG cargo condensing and fuel cells to engine and lubricant oil cooling.
The design eliminates fouling and maximises heat transfer capabilities, ensuring the maximum possible energy efficiency with a relatively small footprint in addition to saving time and effort during maintenance.
Due to their superior level of energy efficiency, their marine plate heat exchangers are already essential for decarbonizing on board.
