Alfa Laval, with US HQs in Henrico County, acquires Niagara Blower
June 6, 2013
Alfa Laval has acquired Niagara Blower – expanding its heat transfer portfolio and building a leadership position with wet surface air cooled heat exchanger technology in North America.
Founded in 1904 and based in Buffalo, New York, Niagara Blower is known for providing innovative “engineered to order” heat transfer solutions. Niagara Blower is best known for their Wet Surface Air Cooler (WSAC) technology for cooling gases and liquids, and the technology is used as a condenser in the power, natural gas, refinery, petrochemical and other industries. The Niagara Blower portfolio includes “No-Frost” refrigeration and dehumidification systems – which provide energy-efficient refrigeration, dew point depression and air cleaning for meat, poultry, food, and beverage industries. And the Kathabar desiccant systems are used for dehumidification and energy recovery in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries, as well as in hospitals and “green” buildings.
The addition of Niagara Blower brings a complementary range to Alfa Laval’s heat transfer offer –establishing a leading market position with air cooled heat exchanger technology.
Niagara Blower will be integrated into Alfa Laval – where additional information can be found at www.alfalaval.com.
