OMEGA Laser Plate
Laser-welded, hydraulically inflated pillow plates in stainless, duplex, nickel alloys or titanium for closed-circuit heating and cooling.
Fernstrum supplies OMEGA Laser Plates from partner Omega Thermo Products. They are also called immersion or pillow plates. Omega's machines join two metal sheets with a circular pattern of laser welds, seal the edge with a welded contour and then inflate the plate hydraulically to form flow channels. Marine and industrial uses include tank heating and cooling, cargo-hold heating, heat recovery, suction heaters and de-icing. Standard design is 150 psi at 400/−20 °F, and ratings above 1,500 psi are possible depending on design temperature.
