May 2015 WINES&VINES 11 • Superior heat transfer coef cient due to corrugated plate design and a custom weld pattern. The Omega Laser-Plate design and weld pattern creates a turbulent ow of the medium inside the jacket to in- crease the heat transfer coef cient. • Designs suitable for complex geometries. Custom patterns and shapes can be created per applica- tion requirements, including conical- shaped fermentors, conical- and dish-shaped tank ends. Connection isolations can be integrated in the heat transfer jacket. • Improved control characteristics. The lower volume of the Omega Laser-Plate will result in a faster response time of the application when changes are made to the ow rate or temperature of the medium. • Reduced fabrication cost with Omega's CNC (CAD Nesting Software) welding procedure versus resistance welded products or manual welding of pre-formed dimple. • No re nishing required. There is no heat tint on the inside of the tank because of controlled weld depth of the CNC laser welding process. • Minimal heat input. With regulation of welding speed and power, there is no carbide precipitation or change in material structure on the product side, so tank longevity is increased. • Thinner materials. Material gauges as thin as 22-gauge can be utilized for the Omega Laser-Plate. • Uniformity and repeatability. The highly controlled and accurate CNC laser welding process yields high quality tanks with very minimal weld defects. • High-pressure ratings of up to 1000PSI versus other in ated heat transfer products. • High-test pressure. The in ation pressure of the Omega Laser-Plate exceeds the pressure rating up to 7 times the working pressure to guarantee the weld integrity. • High quality materials. The quality of the materials used to weld the Omega Laser-Plate is necessarily high due to the welding process requirements, which results in a high quality end product. • ASME, CRN and PED. Certi cations are available to all Omega customers.
