Many facilities have been built using shell and tube heat exchangers. When time for expansion comes, whether involving HVAC or process thermal systems, sizing and installing a larger shell and tube exchanger is expensive or impossible because the larger unit: Causes impossible-to-resolve piping conflicts with existing systems Exceeds the load capacity of support structures Has…
PLATECOIL heat recovery banks in wet gas and liquid streams cut industry fuel bills significantly. At the same time, they knock out troublesome vapor plumes and reduce thermal load on effluent plants. Wet flue gas streams as low as 67°C (150°F) are a candidate for big savings from PLATECOIL heating banks. From such a moist…
Whatever brands of plate heat exchangers are installed in your facility, they originally started up delivering OEM nameplate performance. Tranter Service Centers want to ensure that you continue to enjoy nameplate performance. Our fast, economical and reliable service means minimal downtime for your exchanger and reliable protection for your equipment. That’s why we offer OEM…
Clean heat exchange surfaces in both channels are critical for the controllability and energy efficiency of a heat exchanger. Fouled surfaces result in complaints from your employees. Typical problems include interior comfort complaints, off-grade product from lack of temperature control, excessive flash steam vapor, escalating utility bills and related troubles. Some problems are minor but…
Tranter can fabricate a plate pack with a larger number of plates throughout the range of plate diameters. Tranter offers its wide-gap, deep-draw plates throughout the range of sizes; others do not. Tranter uses plasma arc welding for perimeter and porthole welding. Others use a fusion weld that can be asymmetrical. Tranter uses all-metallic plate…
The SUPERMAX® Shell And Plate Heat Exchanger is worthy of consideration for all duties with fluctuating temperature and pressure vs. bloc-type units. The reason is that welded heat exchangers with square/rectangular plates (the four corner grid design) suffer from thermal and pressure fatigue due to the weak corner welds. These welds often fail in dynamic…
In either process duties or in engineered systems, MAXCHANGER® single- and multiple-pass all-welded designs fit virtually any application requirement. Here is why: Extremely high “U” values for maximum efficiency Countercurrent channel flow for immediate thermal response and a close temperature approach capability of less than 1°C (2°F) All-welded for longer life cycles than brazed units…
Superior thermal performance Exclusive MultiZone flow paths are supremely suited for steam flow The ability to balance flow velocity through the panel is unequaled, which improves thermal and steam handling performance No channeling, short-circuiting or cold spots Even heating Faster cycle time Nearly instantaneous attainment of controlled temperature. Better control at setpoint through load changes.…
Compare the footprint of the SUPERMAX® Shell And Plate Exchanger with an equivalent duty shell and tube. You would have to double the shell and tube footprint to be able to pull the tube bundle for service. The Tranter SUPERMAX® Shell And Plate welded heat exchanger enables you to obtain the thermal efficiency and compactness…
SUPERCHANGER® Plate And Frame Heat Exchangers transfer heat more efficiently than shell and tube units in most applications, due in large measure to the turbulent flow created by the corrugated patterns of their plates. They use only 20% to 50% of space required by shell and tube units including service footprint and are much lighter…
