Alfa Laval Launches FreeWaterLoop for Efficient Data Center Cooling Alfa Laval introduced FreeWaterLoop, an external cooling system for the data center facility loop, engineered to set new standards in efficiency, energy saving, and high-density computing. The liquid-based cooling system combines advanced pump engineering, high performance heat exchanger technology, and filtration into one single fully integrated system - offering data centers a scalable solution completely new to the market. Developed in direct response to growing industry demands for energy-efficient, high-capacity cooling, FreeWaterLoop supports the shift from traditional facility loop air-based cooling to liquid-based cooling. By harnessing the stable temperatures and powerful heat transfer capacity of natural water sources, the system minimizes net water consumption and returns water to its origin, all while delivering a continuous, reliable cooling flow. Additionally, FreeWaterLoop significantly reduces the physical plant footprint of facility cooling as it occupies less space than air-based systems. FreeWaterLoop is introduced 4 March 2026, at Data Center World in London. Tillkännagivande • Feb 04

Alfa Laval Announces New Heat Exchanger, Hygienic WideGap Alfa Laval's new heat exchanger, Hygienic WideGap, offers a game-changing alternative to conventional technology,potentially halving emissions in the processing of liquid foods containing fibers and particles. The line of new heat exchangers underscores Alfa Laval's commitment to sustainability and food safety in the food processing industry. A game-changing innovation in the liquid food segment: Many food and beverage producers are eager to reduce a common dependency on fossil fuel-based energy sources and at the same time enhance energy efficiency and reduce emissions. While lowering the consumption of energy, water and chemicals at a plant level, food and beverage producers are simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout their supply chains. The launch of Alfa Laval's new Hygienic WideGap heat exchanger enables the switch from conventional processes to a more sustainable alternative. With this innovation, Alfa Laval has introduced a patented design suitable for the sustainable and hygienic production of, for example, crushed tomatoes, dressings, plant-based beverages, and juices with pulp. In comparison with conventional technologies, the new heat exchanger is 50% more energy efficient with corresponding lower emissions. It is the combination of optimal heat recovery, a 55% lower steam consumption and a 15% lower power consumption due to a lower pressure drop that is the foundation for the superior energy efficiency of the technology.

Alfa Laval Introduces Life-Cycle Assessment Solution Alfa Laval introduced the Life-cycle Assessment Solution, an innovative software service. The service tool can provide input for the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and address the EU Green Claims Directive. It will help Alfa Laval's food and beverage customers to specify necessary data demonstrating their environmental impact and compliance with the coming directives. As consumers, investors and other stakeholders prioritize sustainability, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive ("CSRD") mandates companies to report their sustainability impacts and risks. Applicable to large EU organizations from 2024, CSRD ensures consistent and standardized measurements, promoting transparency in disclosing social and environmental initiatives. Compliance isn't just a legal requirement but a strategic commitment to ethical conduct, aligning with the stakeholders' expectations for responsible business practices and a sustainable future. The EU Green Claims Directive, on the other hand, demands authenticity in environmental marketing. Companies must verify green claims, aligning with consumer expectations for transparency. This directive sets clear guidelines for credible communication of eco-friendly initiatives in the EU, fostering trust and meeting the demand for genuine sustainability efforts. The Green Claims Directive is expected to enter into force in 2024 with a start-up period between 2024 to 2027. To comply with these directives, companies and organizations must demonstrate supply chain transparency, requesting and reporting data from suppliers to verify due diligence in achieving sustainability goals. For instance, EU estimates that more than 50% of current environmental sustainability claims can be categorized as greenwashing due to a lack of verifiable data. Reported Earnings • Oct 26

Alfa Laval to Launch Premium Separator Range for Single-Use Pharmaceutical Processing Alfa Laval announced that it is the first manufacturer to introduce a new unique single-use separator range - Alfa Laval CultureOne Maxi - for biopharma processing that will cover the range from lab scale up to large production. All product-contact parts in the separator system can be replaced after each batch, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination, and increasing process hygiene and safety. In 2020, Alfa Laval launched the first premium separator for single-use biopharma processing in small scale production. Based on the positive market reception the company is now expanding the offering to a range of single-use separators covering the scope from small lab production up to large scale processing. Until recently, single-use disc-stack separators did not exist on the market. This forced manufacturers to choose less efficient alternatives for cell harvesting. Now the unique single-use range, based on Alfa Laval's 130 years of experience in separation technology and developed in close contact with Alfa Laval's biopharma customers, eliminates the need for onsite cleaning and sterilization - and thereby the associated consumption of chemicals, water and energy.

Last year, Alfa Laval and senior scientists at Lund University conducted an experiment at the MAX IV synchrotron radiation facility in Lund, Sweden, to image the oxide of stainless steel in an extreme atomic scale. The valuable insights of the nanometre-thin oxide, that protects products from corrosion, have since been used in product development at Alfa Laval. This week, Alfa Laval and representatives from Sandvik Materials Technology, Tetra Pak, Thermo-Calc Software and led by Lund University, are taking the next step in the research, studying the oxide's reaction to corrosive salty mediums. The experiment focuses on metals exposed to conditions similar to various industrial processes, and the aim is to get a better understanding of corrosion, which is a challenge in many process applications. The results from the study will be used in the development of more resilient materials and optimized processes. Reported Earnings • Oct 27
