Alfa Laval unveils the TS25 semi-welded heat exchanger
As the energy landscape evolves, the demand for scalable and efficient solutions is greater than ever. To address this need, Alfa Laval, a global leader in heat transfer technology, now introduces the latest addition to the semi-welded range of plate heat exchangers- The TS25. Building on Alfa Laval’ s proven semi-welded technology, which has been in operation for decades across numerous industries, the TS25 is specifically engineered for applications limited by pressure drops, such as electrolyser cooling, sulphuric acid production, and other process industries. In addition, the heat exchanger is a great choice for industrial heat pumps. The TS25 delivers exceptional performance, versatility, safety, and with the compact design, it offers more capacity in less space. The TS25 semi-welded heat exchanger is designed for highperformance industries, ensuring efficient cooling and heat recovery across diverse applications, from clean hydrogen production to heavy process industries. Featuring advanced sealing technology and enhanced durability, it extends equipment lifetime while maximizing energy efficiency— helping to lower the levelized cost of hydrogen and improve performance in demanding industrial settings. These innovations make the TS25 semiwelded heat exchanger a versatile solution for a wide range of energy and process applications.
Conflux and AMSL Aero partner
Conflux Technology has partnered with Australian aircraft manufacturer AMSL Aero to develop a thermal management system for Vertiia, a hydrogen-powered electric vertical take-off and landing( VTOL) aircraft. Designed for zero-emissions long-range flight across distances of up to 1,000 km, Vertiia relies on efficient heat regulation to support its hydrogen fuel cell powertrain. Conflux brings its expertise in additively manufactured heat exchangers to the project, aiming to meet the thermal and structural demands of next-generation flight. According to Conflux, initial efforts focused on producing three concept heat exchangers capable of handling continuous thermal loads while reducing both weight and aerodynamic drag. Each concept was developed with compact packaging in mind, accommodating the space limitations of aircraft design without compromising performance. Work has now progressed to a second phase, which involves building and testing a complete proof-of-concept assembly within Vertiia’ s propulsion system. During take-off, landing, and hover operations, hydrogen VTOL aircraft face sharp increases in heat output. To manage those transient thermal spikes, the cooling system must deliver consistent performance while remaining lightweight and compact. According to the company, 3D printing enables highly tailored geometries that can conform to tight spaces, an approach wellsuited to hydrogen aviation. As a result, Conflux is using its patented thin-walled structures that support both thermal efficiency and low drag across variable flight conditions.
