Introduction to ALFA LAVAL EPC400 3183050102
The ALFA LAVAL EPC400 (order number: 3183050102) is an advanced integrated process control module, hailed as the “intelligent control core” for ALFA LAVAL’s separation, heat transfer, and fluid handling systems. As a flagship product in the EPC (Electronic Process Control) series, it integrates multi-variable regulation algorithms, real-time data processing, and human-machine interaction functions, specializing in precise control of key process parameters such as flow, pressure, and separation efficiency. This module is widely applied in marine engineering, food & beverage processing, and petrochemical industries—for example, controlling FOPX-series separators in ship fuel oil treatment systems to remove water and impurities, regulating plate heat exchanger networks in dairy pasteurization lines, or managing fluid transfer systems in edible oil refining plants. Its industrial-grade design features a rugged aluminum alloy housing with IP65 protection rating, resisting oil contamination and vibration in ship engine rooms and industrial workshops.
