AC900
The Alfa Laval S.p.A. AC900 is a single-circuit brazed plate heat exchanger from Alfa Laval's AC family for air-conditioning and refrigeration duties. The AC900 design is intended for efficient evaporation or condensation with modern refrigerants, including low-density low-global-warming-potential refrigerants where the approved system design permits their use. Its corrugated plates form a permanently brazed, gasket-free heat-transfer pack with a compact footprint. In a vessel installation it may be integrated into a chiller, heat-pump, HVAC or other refrigeration package rather than serving as a general seawater cooler. As with other brazed exchangers, internal plate repair is not a normal onboard maintenance action and service focuses on clean circuits, correct flows and leak-free connections. The designation AC900 identifies a specific AC-series refrigeration brazed plate heat exchanger configuration in the supplied equipment list. Exact capacity, pressure and temperature limits, materials, connection details and internal configuration must be verified from the unit nameplate and manufacturer documentation; refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Service & Maintenance
Trend inlet and outlet temperatures and pressures to identify gradual loss of thermal performance. Inspect the external plate pack, connections and supports for leakage, corrosion, vibration damage and excessive piping loads. Maintain upstream strainers and system cleanliness, and use only cleaning-in-place procedures compatible with the installed materials. Any indication of cross-contamination requires prompt investigation because the bonded plate pack is not normally opened for onboard repair; refer to the manufacturer documentation for test limits and cleaning criteria.
