Shell and plate heat exchanger

-  The best choice for challenging applications.

  • Excellent thermal performance
    Achieve pure countercurrent heat transfer, close temperature approach of 1ºC (2°F) similar to that of gasketed plate heat exchangers.
  • Wide temperature and pressure ratings
    Good performance with harsh fluids and refrigerants such as ammonia and carbon dioxide in various operating environments.
  • Outstanding uptime
    Highly turbulent flow produces high heat transfer efficiency and limits fouling or freezing in refrigeration/cryogenic service.

Welded block heat exchanger

- For increased durability and energy efficiency.

  • Novel plate design
    A patented design that provides state of the art weld quality and resistance against cyclic pressure and temperature process conditions while minimizing unnecessary additional pressure loss.
  • Withstand challenging conditions
    Able to withstand tough operating conditions in both single-phase and two-phase flow applications. No gaskets for fluid separation eliminates fluid compatibility issues for aggressive fluids.
  • Fully accessible for cleaning
    Novusbloc is fully accessible for mechanical cleaning and visual inspection for both sides.

Frequently asked questions

What types of heat exchangers does Tranter specialize in?

We specialize in gasketed plate & frame, shell and plate and Novusbloc heat exchangers designed for various industrial applications.

What are Tranter’s advantages compared to competitors?

Our advantages include customizable designs, a global service network, industry expertise, and high-quality materials suited for demanding environments.

Can Tranter heat exchangers be used with corrosive fluids or high-pressure systems?

Our heat exchangers can handle corrosive fluids and high-pressure systems using materials like titanium, Hastelloy, and stainless steel.

What certifications or industry standards do Tranter products meet?

Our products meet certifications including ASME, PED, ISO 9001, and other industry-specific standards ensuring quality and safety compliance.

How long do Tranter heat exchangers last?

The life-time of our heat exchangers depends on operating conditions, fluid characteristics and maintenance intervalls.

How long is lead time for Tranter products in the U.S.?

Lead times for our products in the U.S. vary by model and customization but generally range from a few weeks to several months.

What are the primary Tranter product lines?

Our primary product lines include SUPERCHANGER® Gasketed Plate and Frame Heat Exchangers, NOVUSBLOC® Welded Plate Heat Exchangers and SUPERMAX® Shell and Plate heat exchangers

Does Tranter offer customized design solutions for specific process requirements?

Yes, we pride ourselves on providing customized heat exchanger solutions, collaborating with customers to meet specific process needs and unique application requirements.

Does Tranter offer specific software or tools for sizing and selecting their heat exchangers?

We have advanced methods and software for sizing and selecting heat exchangers to optimize performance for specific applications. Limited versions are available for our long terms distributors and partners.

What are Tranter's solutions for high-pressure or high-temperature applications?

For high-pressure or high-temperature applications, our offers are: shell & plate ( SUPERMAX®) or welded plate heat exchanger (NovusBloc®). They are both designed to withstand extreme conditions beyond gasketed plate & frame heat exchanger's limitations.

What standards and certifications is Tranter particularly proud of meeting (e.g., ASME, PED)?

We are proud of being able to deliver heat exchangers anywhere in the world, with almost any standard or certification required across all industries including - but not limited to - ASME and PED certification.

What temperature and pressure ranges can Tranter heat exchangers handle?

Our Gasketed plate & frame heat exchangers can handle design pressures up to 435 psig or 30 barg and our welded plate heat exchangers can handle design pressures up to 1450 psig or 100 barg depending on the model. They feature wide temperature and pressure ratings with good performance handling harsh fluids and refrigerants. 

Which Tranter models are best suited for HVAC applications?

For HVAC applications, Tranter's GT models (Thermofit) are specially designed for close-temperature-approach for optimized energy efficiency in District Heating and Cooling applications with LMTDs as low as 1 degree Kelvin.

Our gasketed plate heat exchangers bring efficiency and reliability to district heating and cooling systems, capable of managing small LMTD and high NTU duties. GX series are specially designed for applications with un-balanced flow rates between the hot and cold side, common in HVAC.
