Product Literature EXTREME PERFORMANCE FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS

When Conditions Are Tough... Think Plates Instead Of Tubes Now you can obtain the thermal efficiency and compactness of gasketed heat exchangers in elevated pressure/high- and low-temperature applications—with Tranter welded plate heat exchangers (PHEs). Until recently, heat exchangers in elevated pressure/temperature or corrosive media applications were often shell & tube (S&T) units. This meant constant tradeoffs in thermal efficiency, material mass and excessive physical footprint...until recently. Tranter welded PHEs allow you to attain high heat transfer rates under elevated process...

SUPERMAX® SPW, DPW, OPW And MAXCHANGER® Plate Range PHE Comparative Footprint Model Required Surface Area, m2 (ft2) TEMA Shell & Tube Common HVAC water–water application—10oF approach. Plate Heat Exchanger Performance At Shell & Tube Pressures Tranter’s SUPERMAX® and MAXCHANGER® Welded Plate Heat Exchangers require only a fraction of the space of the equivalent shell & tube exchangers. Turbulent flow induced by the corrugated and dimpled plate patterns produces high heat transfer rates. This high efficiency allows Tranter to design compact exchangers with a 1ºC (2°F) temperature approach....

SUPERMAX®—For Amazing Efficiency In A Small Footprint The SUPERMAX® Shell & Plate Heat Exchanger is designed for pressures to 200 barg (2900 psig) and at temperatures up to 900°C (1650°F) for standard range units. Extended range units are available for higher temperature and pressure applications. Turbulent flow, even at low velocities, enables stable capacity regulation and minimizes fouling. In refrigeration and cryogenic service, the exchangers require a low refrigerant charge. They are also resistant to freezing because of high fluid turbulence induced by the corrugated plate pattern....

port holes. Cassettes are then placed together and perimeter welded to each other, producing an accordion-like core that is highly tolerant to thermal expansion. Hot Channel Flow Within Cassette Pairs The plate pack is then inserted in a cylindrical shell. Flow directors positioned between the shell and the plate pack ensure proper flow through the shell side channels. End plates, nozzles and top and bottom covers are welded to the shell to form a pressure vessel of high integrity. Extra-large nozzle sizes can be accommodated on the shell side of the exchanger. Plates can also be arranged...

Optional SUPERMAX Configurations Meet Special Needs SUPERMAX Shell & Plate Exchanger can replace competitor’s failing rectangular welded PHEs or gasketed PHEs with premature gasket failures. Various optional configurations of the SUPERMAX unit enable this versatile exchanger to meet wide-ranging application needs. The Removable Core SUPERMAX exchanger provides full accessibility to the plate pack for inspection and/or mechanical cleaning by removing the plate pack bundle. The Multi-Duty SUPERMAX has two separate plate packs that share one shell. These cores can handle different or identical...

SUPERMAX Applications Efficiency and ease of maintenance mark the versatility of Tranter plate heat exchangers in heating and cryogenic duties such as found in gas processing and refrigeration. Consider the benefits of thermal efficiency and compactness offered by plate heat exchangers in applications traditionally handled by S&T heat exchangers. Ammonia evaporator. Reducing maintenance as a demethanizer low side heater replacing brazed units. Oblong in tube as a compact evaporator and receiver system providing heat transfer and simultaneous vapor release and separation. Compact,...

MAXCHANGER®—The Design Engineer’s Friend MAXCHANGER single- and multiple-pass designs fit virtually any application requirement. The unique geometry of the patented MAXCHANGER’s variable interspaces produce extremely high “U” values. Channels formed between the specially dimpled, welded plates direct the two heat transfer media countercurrently through alternate paths for maximum efficiency, immediate thermal response and a close temperature approach capability of less than 1°C (2°F). Looks can deceive… there is nothing brazed in these welded 316L SS or titanium units, rated to 70 barg...

PHE Performance In Many Forms PLATECOIL® Prime Surface Plate Heat Exchangers PLATECOIL® panels are made from die-formed channels pressed into flat sheets. Panels are then fabricated into pre-engineered modules, complete with piping, supporting structure and manifolds, or formed into vessel shells or jackets. Embossing pattern and number of panels are functions of capacity and pressure drop specified for the application. Two embossing patterns are used: • Multi-Zone panels are especially suited with high flow rates and where low pressure drop is necessary. Serpentine panels excel at...
