Heat Exchangers for Genset & Cogeneration

Heat exchangers for genset and cogeneration

When your site depends on on-site power, cooling is mission-critical. Engines run hot, waste heat piles up, and even a small failure can mean lost production, damaged equipment, or penalties under uptime contracts. 

With 90+ years of OEM expertise, Tranter heat exchanger solutions are built for the engine cooling and heat recovery you require. We help you extend engine life and turn waste heat into usable energy with compact, service-friendly designs backed by global support.

Genset and Cogeneration

Applications in the Genset & Cogeneration industry

Genset

In diesel and gas-powered generators, Tranter plate heat exchangers cool the engine coolant continuously. By stabilizing jacket-water circuits, they prevent overheating and protect performance in prime, standby, or peak-shaving operation.

Cogeneration

Diesel-fired CHP systems generate both electricity and thermal energy. Our solutions provide precise temperature control for coolant, jacket water, and process fluids, ensuring reliable engine operation while capturing waste heat for heating, cooling, or industrial use.

Heat recovery

High-temperature waste heat from engines or exhaust can be reused for steam or process applications, while low-grade heat supports space heating, greenhouses, or aquaculture. Tranter exchangers maximize recovery across the temperature range, lowering lifecycle costs and emissions.
