Chemical Applications

The greatest variety of applications for heat exchangers is found in the chemical industry, reflecting the enormous variety of chemicals produced and the wide variety of capacities required. Tranter plate heat exchangers are capable of matching each application - from the cooling of sulphuric acid or chlorine from absorbers to applications involving fine chemicals, synthetic fibres, polyols, aldehydes, etc.

Application Examples:

Regenerative heat exchange
Cold feedstock needs heating and hot products need cooling. Both can be done with a plate heat exchanger.

Cooling water circuit isolation
This application shows how to solve the problem with water causing fouling problems when using water from a nearby river, lake etc. A Wide-Gap plate heat exchanger with a channel depth two to five times wider is very suitable for the application. If totally interruption-free operation is required, we recommend two units, using one as a standby while cleaning the other.
