World-leading heat exchanger manufacturer Alfa Laval has received the Asia Pacific District Cooling Equipment Manufacturer Award 2014. The award was presented on 26th August during the 3rd Annual Asia Pacific District Cooling Conference 2014 from 26 – 28 August 2014.
The panel judges concluded that Alfa Laval emerged convincing as the strongest candidate for being a strong promoter of the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) Liquid-to-liquid Heat Exchanger (LLHE) Certification Program to the HVAC/District Energy Industry.
“The Alfa Laval AlfaQ™ series were the first heat exchangers to be certified in accordance with the LLHE certification standard and they have met this performance standard for over a decade”, said Mr. Marcus Teo, Associate of ReEx Capital Asia, the organizer, when requoting comments from the judges.
AHRI Liquid to Liquid Heat Exchanger Certification program is currently the only third party performance certification available in the world for gasketed plate heat exchangers. AHRI certified heat exchangers are available globally, assuring customers worldwide that the heat exchangers they choose perform according to specification.
Sustainable practices and system components of excellent performances are the main considerations of the jury when distinguishing Alfa Laval from the other manufacturers in the market.
“We are honoured to receive this award,” said Stefan Linde, Market Manager HVAC, Alfa Laval.
“As the world-leading manufacturer, Alfa Laval offers more than excellent performances, but also energy-saving practices that would save both environmental and operating cost in the long run, making Alfa Laval heat exchanger a good investment with attractive payback time.”
Alfa Laval has been active in the HVAC industry for more than 50 years with prestigious installations around the world such as the world’s tallest buildings, but also in more everyday applications such as district cooling and heating networks and large air-conditioning systems.
Alfa Laval owns the most patents in the HVAC business and its heavy investment in research and development continuously leads to innovations that give users the lowest possible total cost of ownership.
To the end-customers, performance is crucial. Each component of an HVAC system must be optimized to perform exactly as specified. Performance certification verifies that the product performs in accordance with the manufacturer’s published ratings, and is particularly useful in applications such as district cooling energy transfer stations, ice-storage systems, data centres and free cooling systems.
