Gasketed plate and frame heat exchanger
SUPERCHANGER®
Efficient and reliable heat transfer for every industry
Versatile performance for efficient heat transfer
Discover Tranter's Superchanger
Tranter’s gasketed plate and frame heat exchanger, Superchanger®, is designed for applications where thermal efficiency, flexibility, and serviceability are key priorities. Its modular plate pack combines high heat transfer performance with the ability to adapt to changing process requirements. Superchanger is used across industries ranging from HVAC and data centers to chemical processing, marine, power generation, and industrial heat recovery.
High efficiency with maximum flexibility
Gasketed plate heat exchangers are selected for applications that require efficient heat transfer, compact installation, and straightforward maintenance. The plate-and-frame design creates highly turbulent flow and close temperature approaches while allowing the exchanger to be opened for inspection, cleaning, capacity changes, or future expansion. This makes GPHE an ideal choice when efficiency, operational flexibility, and lifecycle value are equally important.
-
High thermal efficiency – Corrugated plates create intense turbulence and enable close temperature approaches.
-
Compact and lightweight – High heat transfer coefficients reduce footprint, weight, and installation requirements.
-
Modular and serviceable – Plate packs can be opened for inspection, cleaning, maintenance, and capacity adjustments.
-
Application flexibility – Multiple plate series, materials, and flow configurations adapt to diverse process duties.
Adaptable design, built around your process
Superchanger is built on a modular design concept and can be configured with multiple plate patterns, gasket compounds, materials, and frame arrangements. Exact specifications depend on the application, process conditions, and selected plate series.
Specification highlights
-
Modular construction: Plate packs can be expanded, reduced, cleaned, or reconfigured as process requirements change.
-
Material flexibility: Available in stainless steel, titanium, and specialty alloys to match a wide range of process requirements.
-
Application-specific sealing: Multiple gasket materials ensure reliable performance across different fluids, temperatures, and operating conditions.
-
Plate technologies: GT, GX, GC, GL, GF, and GD series optimize performance for pressure, flow, fouling, safety, and thermal efficiency.
