CP120

CP120 by Alfa Laval S.p.A. is a member of the Compabloc welded plate-and-block heat-exchanger range. Its core consists of corrugated heat-transfer plates welded to form alternating hot and cold flow channels inside an openable pressure casing. The construction is intended for compact process heating, cooling, condensing or heat-recovery duties where high thermal effectiveness and access for cleaning are important. On board it may be fitted in specialised fuel, chemical, waste-heat, refrigeration or process systems, depending on the vessel design and selected materials. Baffles and flow arrangement are configured for the required duty, so the exact number of passes and metallurgy must be taken from the unit data sheet. The CP 120 designation identifies its size within the Compabloc family; neighbouring CP models primarily provide different physical and thermal design envelopes rather than a different operating principle.
