Tranter: Compact, Efficient, and Economical Heat Exchangers
Tranter heat exchangers share one thing in common—heat transfer through plates instead of tubes. Turbulent flow at low velocity produces high heat transfer efficiency and low fouling. The result…compact units with small heat transfer areas compared to conventional shell and tube exchangers. Plate exchangers conserve both material and labor resources, reducing up-front costs and future operational costs.
Plate and Frame Heat Exchanger
The SUPERCHANGER® Plate And Frame Heat Exchanger, sometimes referred to as a gasketed plate heat exchanger or GPHE, provides outstanding efficiency transferring heat from one liquid to another, often water to water, or from steam to liquid. This modular exchanger combines frames, plates and connections to form a variety of configurations. It is found in many of the same duties as shell and tube heat exchangers.
-
Induced Turbulence
Promotes maximum heat transfer; induces scouring action that fights fouling or scaling.
-
Reduced Footprint
Fits into 20–50% of a shell and tube footprint including service and maintenance space. And, it costs less.
-
Highly Versatile
Hundreds of plate styles, patterns, and draw depths to precisely match your application requirements.
-
Temperature Approaches
Of less than 1°C (2°F), with “U” or “K “ values 3 to 6 times higher than shell and tube exchangers
-
Easy Accessibility
Opens within its own footprint simply by loosening the tie-rod bolts and rolling the movable frame back to the support column
-
Maximum Fluid Compatibility
Range of alloys, including titanium, plus a variety of gasket elastomer compounds, to precisely match your fluid characteristics for maximum uptime
.
Welded Plate Heat Exchanger
Available for global energy-intensive markets, the NovusBloc® welded plate heat exchanger encompasses a Tranter premium design concept offering a significant boost in heat exchange performance and durability for these processes.
-
Novel Plate Design
A patented design that provides state of the art weld quality and resistance against cyclic pressure and temperature process conditions while minimizing unnecessary additional pressure loss
-
Reduced Unit Size
The Novusbloc offers outstanding potential for reduced unit size, weight, and footprint
-
Four Model Sizes
Comes in four different model sizes depending on the users’ heat transfer duty requirements. Each model can be pressed in many different materials to cope with corrosion aggressive environments
-
Withstand Challenging Conditions
Able to withstand tough operating conditions in both single-phase and two-phase flow applications. No gaskets for fluid separation eliminates fluid compatibility issues for aggressive fluids
-
Increased Durability
Unique design features reduce stress in critical components thus mitigating the risk of failure due to elevated temperatures and pressures
-
Fully Accessible For Cleaning
Novusbloc is fully accessible for mechanical cleaning and visual inspection
Shell and Plate Heat Exchanger
The SUPERMAX® Shell And Plate Heat Exchanger is designed as a performance upgrade over shell and tube, block-type welded and brazed aluminum heat exchangers. The unit can overcome footprint constraints, extreme pressures/temperatures, fouling/scaling conditions and corrosive attack with liquids, gases, steam and two-phase mixtures.
-
Reduced Footprints
Compact size and low installed weight, especially when filled
-
Wide Temperature/Pressure Ratings
Good performance with natural refrigerants such as ammonia and carbon dioxide
-
Excellent Thermal Performance
Close temperature approach of 1ºC (2°F) –similar to that of gasketed plate heat exchangers
-
Outstanding Uptime
Highly turbulent flow produces high heat transfer efficiency and limits fouling, or freezing in refrigeration/cryogenic service
-
Small Hold-Up Volume
Fast start-ups and close following of process changes; low refrigerant charges for refrigeration and cryogenic service
-
Two-Phase Fluid Flexibility
Extended-thermal-length oblong plates expand capabilities to wide-ranging evaporation and condensing applications
