Tranter Plate Heat Exchangers

Why Choose Tranter

Tranter heat exchangers are optimal for businesses seeking compact, efficient, and economical heat transfer solutions. The SUPERCHANGER® and ThermoFit™ series are known for their superior design promoting induced turbulence. This leads to maximum heat transfer while resisting fouling or scaling. 

The compact size and versatility of these exchangers serve a multitude of applications, and with a variety of alloys and gasket elastomer compounds available, they ensure maximum fluid compatibility.

Applications of Tranter

Tranter plate heat exchangers find widespread use across numerous applications. They are particularly beneficial where operating temperatures and pressures do not exceed 180°C (356°F) or 27.5 bar (400 psi). 

From HVAC systems and heat recovery from low-grade waste streams to handling viscous fluids or slurries and industrial fluids that require high heat transfer rates at low-pressure drops, these heat exchangers cater to a wide range of needs.

Tranter Technology

Tranter heat exchangers are recognized for the integration of advanced technologies. The ThermoFit™ series stands out due to its potential for reduced unit size, weight, and footprint across various applications. 

The HydroFit™ distribution section induces turbulent, balanced flow across the plate, maximizing heat exchange performance. 

The patent-pending OmniFlex™ heat exchange zones are devised to enhance mechanical contacts and ensure optimal usage of the heat transfer surface, facilitating high turbulence and enhanced heat transfer rates with a low-pressure drop.

Tranter Heat Exchanger Installation and Maintenance

The design of Tranter heat exchangers simplifies the processes of installation and maintenance. They can be opened within their own footprint by loosening the tie-rod bolts and rolling the movable frame back to the support column. Their easy accessibility, combined with the high turbulence throughout the exchanger, which resists fouling and scaling, ensures low maintenance and superior longevity.
