AFT is an ambiguous acronym. It denotes several completely different processes and technologies. There are companies whose short names end up with the same abbreviation - AFT.
Behind the abbreviation AfT hides several unrelated concepts. The term "aft" refers to small ulcers that develop on the mucous membrane of the mouth. The etiology and process of these erosions have not been established. It is assumed that their appearance may be caused by a virus unknown to science.
AFT - a type of heat block
These products belong to the series of steam-water heating blocks, which is developed on the basis of jet heat exchangers. The units are designed for heating water in the heating system of a residential building and industrial premises. They ensure the utilization of blowdowns from steam boilers and are used to heat liquids in the processes of chemical preparation and deaeration. The AFT heat block can be used in work with aggressive liquids.
The peculiarity of these products is in high-quality protection against scale formation and sludge deposits. The scope of application is very different: where a water heating installation is required. There are AFT units for indoor and outdoor use, capable of increasing water pressure as a result of the use of steam energy. This saves on electricity costs as the need for energy-consuming pumps is greatly reduced. AFT heat blocks are not a serial product, but are manufactured on the basis of an individual technical order.
