Pressure Breaker Cooling Zones For Tall Buildings

CHALLENGE

  • Dividing tall buildings into chilled water piping zones to reduce static heat pressure.
  • Obtain better efficiency than with shell and tube heat exchangers; save space and weight.

SOLUTION

Tranter SUPERCHANGER® Plate And Frame Heat Exchangers.

RESULTS

  • Compact–fits into 20–50% of a shell and tube footprint including service and maintenance space.
  • Higher heat transfer coefficients for improved heat exchange performance, faster response.
  • They can handle temperature approaches of less than 1°C (2°F), with “U” or “K “ values 3 to 6 times higher than shell and tube exchangers.
  • Lower operating costs through reduced energy consumption.
  • Reduced maintenance dead space by eliminating need to pull tube bundle.
  • Enhanced resistance to fouling.

Tranter SUPERCHANGER® Plate And Frame Heat Exchangers, with their compact footprint and low weight, make good sense for establishing chilled water piping zones to reduce static pressure.
Cooling zone exchangers can be sized to precisely match load, but with plenty of reserve capacity when needed.
