HEAT EXCHANGERS ^ HEAT Efficient Heat Transfer For Every Industry The SUPERCHANGER heat exchanger is designed to provide maximum efficiency in transferring heat from one liquid to another or from steam to liquid. It consists of a series of gasketed, embossed metal plates arranged alternately and bolted together between end frames to form channels through which hot and cold media flow. The hot fluid flows on one side of the plate while the cold fluid flows on the other, with the plate itself providing the most effective means to transfer heat from one fluid to the other. Gaskets on the...

How SUPERCHANGER PHEs Outperform Shell & Tube Units SUPERCHANGER heat exchangers transfer heat more efficiently than shell & tube units in most applications, due in large measure to the turbulent flow created by the corrugated patterns of their plates. They can pack greater than 22,000 ft2 (2,044 m2) of super-efficient heat transfer surface in a single unit with flow rates up to 25,400 gpm (5,768 m3/hr). They use only 10-50% of the space required by shell & tube units and are much lighter in weight. And, they cost less. • “U” values several times greater than shell & tube • Can be designed...

Demonstrated here is the SUPERCHANGER® heat exchanger efficiently handling heat transfer flow. Shell & Tube • Low efficiency • Typically designed for greater than a 5°F to 10°F temperature approach • Requires twice its length to pull tube bundle • Complex disassembly—tube bundle must be pulled • Three to 10 times greater fouling due to circular cross-section and channeling • Fluids can intermix, both at welds and at tube sheet • Great amount of heat loss—insu

HEAT EXCHANGERS HEAT EXCHANGERS UXP Series Herringbone High NTU GFP Wide-Gap Wide-Gap plates are most effective in applications that involve viscous fluids or solids and slurries. These normally cause extensive clogging and downtime for cleaning with standard plate & frame or shell & tube heat exchangers. Our plates have a draw depth two to five times greater than conventional plates, permitting unrestricted passage of coarse particles and fibers. Plates can be arranged in a wide/narrow configuration when only one fluid with large particulates requires a wide gap or placed in a...

HEAT EXCHANGERS A. HEAT UXP Series GL Series GXD Series High NTU GXD Series Low NTU Illustrations shown here are not drawn to scale. NTU = thermal length. GL Series GL Series plates offer broad versatility and responsiveness for a wide range of applications. These herringbone-style plates have a large theta span, enabling finely tuned pressure drop and heat transfer rate. They have proven to provide outstanding performance in condensing applications. Mixed High-And Low-NTU In many applications, better heat transfer performance can be achieved by units with mixed high-and low-NTU plates...

Maximum Particle Size GFP Wide-Gap Plates Defeat Clogging And Downtime A SUPERCHANGER heat exchanger utilizing Wide-Gap plates economically recovers heat from hard-to-handle waste streams in a variety of industries, including pulp & paper, sugar processing, alcohol production, grain processing, chemicals, textiles and ethanol distilling. The plate design is also excellent for low-pressure steam since the wide gap will more readily accommodate the high volumetric flows typical of low-pressure steam applications. Plates are available in five models—designated GFP-205, GFP-187, GFP-145,...

HEAT EXCHANGERS ^ HEAT Typical GXD Applications Cooling • Cooling tower water circuit isolation • “Free cooling” during moderate temperatures • Isolation and “free cooling” combination • Isolation of river, lake, waste or seawater coolants • Static head isolation in tall buildings • Thermal storage—isolation of storage tank • Water source heat pump precooler with isolation Heating And Heat Recovery • Waste heat recovery from condenser water • Water source heat pump isolation • Waste heat recovery from condensate or boiler blowdown • Solar collector fluid isolation • Waste heat recovery from...

GCP Series Plates Utilize Innovative Flow Design Applications where low pressure drop is required or unit sizing is limited by pressure drop are a perfect match for the GCP Series plate. Tranter’s GCP Series plates—GCP-026, GCP-052 and GCP060—are designed with a conventional herringbone pattern, with the gasket groove in the bottom plane. The plate design is similar to the UXP Series in that flow direction is parallel (or vertical) in contrast to the GXD Series, which features diagonal flow across the plate. Due to the deeper draw depth and the “chocolate” pattern in the flow distribution...
