Benefits

  • Easy installation: Designed for plug-and-play operation, Alfa Laval Aalborg 3-Pass boilers are supplied with a ready-mounted burner, control panel, fittings and cables.
  • Compact design: Small footprint makes the boiler easy to incorporate into any design.
  • Easy inspection and maintenance: Connections and valves are located on top of the boiler, making them easily accessible for installation, inspection and maintenance. A number of manholes facilitate internal inspection.
  • Easy to clean: The spiral tubes are easy to clean, thanks to the low number and high efficiency.
