Plate Selection and Technology
Tranter offers various plate designs like GFP Wide-Gap, GCP High-NTU, and UXP Series, each suited for different applications. The GXD Series provides six flow channel configurations for optimized pressure drop and heat transfer rates.

Conclusion
Tranter's SUPERCHANGER heat exchangers offer efficient, customizable solutions for diverse industrial applications, reducing operating costs and enhancing performance.

Overview
The document details Tranter's double-wall plate heat exchangers, specifically the GD Series and SUPERCHANGER units, designed to prevent fluid intermixing, crucial in industries avoiding contamination or undesirable reactions.

Specifications
The double-wall plate heat exchanger design vents leaks outside, preventing fluid intermixing. Plates are nested and welded at port holes, with a gasket/bleed port design directing leaks outside.

Materials and Options
SUPERCHANGER plates are available in metals like stainless steel, titanium, and other alloys. Gaskets are made from materials such as NBR, EPDM, and FKM, suitable for various process conditions. Frame options include solid and reinforced end frames, with various nozzle choices.

Applications
These heat exchangers are used in industries like pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, district heating, and more. They are also used in HVAC systems for energy-efficient cooling and waste heat recovery.

Accessories
The document lists accessories like shrouds, port strainers, instruments, and hydraulic opening devices, enhancing functionality and maintenance of the heat exchangers.

Service and Support
Tranter offers comprehensive service centers for cleaning, regasketing, and refurbishing heat exchangers, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

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 plates...

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 for...

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 medium/medium...

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 area,...
