Heat Exchanger Control Solution – Alfa Laval EPC50 OP Board | EPC Series
The Alfa Laval EPC50 Operator Panel (OP Board), Part No. 3183045463, is the dedicated human-machine interface board for the EPC50 controller used in plate heat exchanger and district energy systems. It provides local parameter display, setpoint adjustment, and alarm acknowledgment directly at the unit — eliminating the need for a separate HMI terminal in most field installations.
Where This Product Is Used
The EPC50 OP Board is specified in applications where reliable local control and clear operator feedback are critical:
- District Heating & Cooling Substations – Local setpoint management and fault display for unmanned or semi-attended energy transfer stations.
- Industrial Process Heat Exchangers – Operator interface for temperature, flow, and pressure loop control in chemical, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical plants.
- HVAC Central Plant Rooms – Integration with building management systems (BMS) where local override and status readout are required.
- Marine & Offshore Utilities – Compact panel-mount HMI for shipboard heat recovery and cooling circuits.
- OEM Skid Packages – Embedded operator interface in pre-engineered heat exchanger skids supplied to end users.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is P/N 3183045463 compatible with all EPC50 firmware versions?
A: The OP Board is a hardware interface component and is compatible across EPC50 controller revisions. Confirm your main board revision with Alfa Laval service documentation if upgrading from a very early production unit.
Q: Can the EPC50 operate without the OP Board installed?
A: Yes — the EPC50 main controller can run autonomously using pre-configured parameters. The OP Board is required for local display, manual setpoint changes, and alarm acknowledgment at the unit.
Q: Do you supply the full EPC50 controller assembly?
A: Yes. Contact us for complete EPC50 assemblies, individual boards, or full control panel builds. We support both spare-part and turnkey supply.
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: In-stock units ship within 3–5 business days. For sourced or refurbished units, lead time is 2–4 weeks depending on origin.
Q: Can you provide a certificate of conformity or test report?
A: Yes, upon request for new and surplus-new units. Refurbished units include an inspection report.
