Alfa Laval printed circuit heat exchanger PCHE HyBloc^TM

To meet the growing demand for new, high-capacity fueling stations, Alfa Laval introduces the HyBloc^TM range of printed circuit heat exchangers.

These ultra-compact units help minimize hydrogen filling times and dramatically reduce both space requirements and installation costs.

Alfa Laval’s team of application experts are ready to support you in designing the optimal solution for your system.

The new Alfa Laval HyBloc^TM range of printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHE) are engineered for use as pre-coolers in hydrogen refueling stations, supplying fuels to light passenger and heavy duty vehicles (HDV) such as trucks and buses.

Thanks to the printed circuit technology, an Alfa Laval HyBloc^TMheat exchanger is 85% smaller than a comparable shell-and-coil or shell-and-tube heat exchanger.

This maximizes flexibility when designing the complete refueling system and the unit is easily integrated, e.g. in the dispenser casing. As opposed to a shell-and-coil or shell-and-tube heat exchanger, there is no need to install a HyBloc^TMbelow ground, which reduces civil work significantly.

Withstanding pressures of up to 1,250 bar, an Alfa Laval HyBloc^TMallows you to design your systems for operation at 350 bar (H35), 700 bar (H70) or higher. The high-pressure capabilities of a HyBloc^TMunit ensure short filling times and also makes it future proof in case new standards with higher pressures are developed.

The HyBloc^TMrange comprises four models, offering solutions for all capacity needs.

The safety of Alfa Laval’s printed circuit heat exchangers has been thoroughly proven in several demanding fueling applications such as fuel gas supply for large ships and land-based natural gas supply systems for industrial and domestic applications for more than 15 years.

Benefits

Zero waiting time between refuelings, thanks to continuous refrigeration loops.

Ability to operate at very high pressures of 1250 bar and minimum temperature of -70°C, enabling minimal filling times

It is even ready for future stadards with even higher pressures.

Ultra-compact, packageable and thermally responsive design with minimal space requirements.

The small size of the pre-cooler brings extra value when the installation space is scarce, e.g. in urban areas

Well-proven and safe technology

Leading supplier with high production capacity and worldwide application support.

Features

OptiBond^TM: A robust and compact solution for high pressure needs. State of the art diffusion welding technology provides the highest durability and thermal efficiency within an ultra compact welded plate heat exchanger.

PowerDense: Maximum sustainibility under maximum pressures. Improves sustainibility with the smallest metal footprint design that can still contain hydrogen pressures as high as 1250 bar.

3DPlate: Prevents clogging under freezing condition. A patented 3D plate pattern maintains high efficiency and maximum uptime when using water based fluid like glycols in cryogenic application.

ReFuel+: Higher back to back throughput for increased profitability. Low thermal mass in a highly responsive and compact solution enables greater capacity and reduced wait time between customers, extending the number of daily back ot back refuels.
