Company brief
What Alfa Laval does
Alfa Laval supplies plate heat exchangers, pumps, and fluid-handling equipment at the boundaries between cooling loops. A plate exchanger passes heat through thin metal surfaces while keeping facility water, technology coolant, district-heating water, or another process fluid physically separate. In a direct-to-chip plant, that separation protects the clean server loop from building-water contamination.
In a heat-reuse project, it also defines the handoff between the data-center operator and the heat customer. Alfa Laval's FreeWaterLoop packages that heat-transfer role for data-center water cooling, while the wider catalog covers gasketed, brazed, and welded exchanger forms. The company does not supply the processor cold plate or complete computing rack represented by this profile.
Buyers should size the exchanger from real flow, fluid, temperatures, allowable pressure loss, and fouling assumptions. A small approach temperature improves heat transfer but may require more surface area and pumping. Due diligence should also cover plate and gasket compatibility, isolation and bypass, cleaning access, leak detection between circuits, spare gaskets, local service, and performance after fouling.
Heat reuse needs a contracted customer, useful temperature, and backup heat rejection when demand disappears. Alfa Laval's product scope and performance language are company-reported. The official homepage confirms heat-transfer and data-center products, but this profile has no linked deployment or product record and public evidence does not establish project pricing or independent site-level savings.
Use the connected product and deployment records to distinguish a stated capability from evidence that the company has delivered it.

Connected records
Cooling technologies
Data-center heat reuse
Instead of throwing the server heat away, sell it to someone who needs heat: a district network, a neighboring building, a factory.
Dry cooling
Fans blow outside air across a coil to dump the heat. No water is consumed.
Hybrid air and liquid cooling
Liquid takes the heat off the processors while air handles the rest of the rack. Almost every liquid-cooled hall works this way.
Connected records
Equipment categories
Heat exchangers
The component that passes heat from one loop of fluid to another without the two ever touching.
Cooling pumps
Pumps keep coolant moving; loss of flow can quickly force dense computing equipment to reduce power or shut down.
