Essential heat exchanger service packages
Cleaning-in-place (CIP)
If fouling should occur, an Alfa Laval CIP system provides quick and easy in-line cleaning without having to dismantle your heat exchanger. This comes with:
- Lower operating costs
- Production reliability
- Lower maintenance cost
Reconditioning
Reconditioning a gasket plate heat exchanger restores performance and reduces the total operating costs. It also:
- Extends product lifetime
- Improves thermal efficiency
- Minimizes energy consumption
Performance Audit
A Performance Audit from Alfa Laval can determine the actual heat transfer performance of your heat exchangers. This helps optimize your maintenance plan and:
- Ensure production reliability
- Secure maximum throughput
- Mediate your maintenance budget
Connected solutions
Connected services help you monitor the conditions in your heat exchangers so that you can improve the sustainability, insight, reliability, and performance of your assets. By doing so, you can:
- Optimize your maintenance plan and budget
- Maximize production uptime
- Reduce water and energy consumption, CO2e (CO2 equivalent)
Spare parts
With Alfa Laval Spare Parts, you can rest assured that the correct material is specified according to its intended use and:
- Prolong equipment lifetime
- Secure uptime
- Minimize costs
Integrity Test
An integrity test identifies any potential leakages in your heat exchanger before they occur in hygienic applications. This is possible using a mix of hydrogen and nitrogen gas to detect small plate cracks. The key benefits are:
- Product safety
- Production reliability and equipment uptime
- Compliance

Visual Condition Assessment (VCA)
Thanks to our unmatched heat exchanger expertise, Alfa Laval can perform a visual inspection of your gasketed plate heat exchanger while it is in operation, identifying potential issues before they become major problems. Using infrared camera technology, we also evaluate the actual heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger. We then provide you with recommendations based on our findings and analysis of the thermal images.
Skills and knowledge empower
When you buy Alfa Laval equipment, you buy peace of mind. But you must also rely on your equipment operators to get the job done. That's why competence development is invaluable to your everyday operations. If you have any specific need for training, let us know and we will get back to you soon.

If needed our experienced and skilled troubleshooters are at your service.
Service to optimize energy efficiency
Every year, the number of heat exchangers we service to optimize energy efficiency reduces our customers’ capacity needs by 50 GW. That is the amount of energy that can be generated by 10,000 wind turbines in the same timeframe.
In carbon emissions, 50 GW translates to a 25 million tonne reduction to our global footprint, or the carbon emitted by the city of London every year.
Imagine what we could achieve if the world’s industries regularly serviced their plate heat exchangers to optimize heat transfer efficiency.
