Enhancing HVAC efficiency and innovation

Heat Exchangers for HVAC: Heating & Cooling

HVAC-engineer

Whether you’re moving heat through a district network, tapping geothermal sources, or pushing heat pump performance, your exchangers are at the heart of it. If they foul, waste energy, or take up too much space, the whole system suffers.

We’ve spent decades designing heat exchangers that keep heating and cooling systems reliable and efficient, so that you can keep people comfortable and regulators off your back.

Reliable performance, lower operating costs

In HVAC, every exchanger decision shows up in your bottom line through energy bills, downtime, or maintenance costs.

Tranter’s plate heat exchangers are designed to help you run smarter systems with less risk:

  • Maximize heat recovery and reduce pumping power across HVAC loops.
  • Fouling-resistant designs mean fewer shutdowns for cleaning and faster service.
  • Compact frames make life easier in tight rooms and retrofit projects.
  • Stainless and alloy plates handle untreated water and tough operating conditions.
  • Eurovent- and AHRI-tested so you know performance is verified.

How Tranter turns up the heat in HVAC

Less clogging, less fouling

Proven plate geometries resist fouling, keeping chilled and hot water loops stable for longer and reducing maintenance costs.

Superchangers-delivery

Lower energy bills

Our exchangers cut pumping energy and recover more waste heat, directly lowering HVAC operating expenses.

Budgetary-constraints

Integration efficiency

Engineered flexibility makes it easier to connect Tranter exchangers into existing building systems or expansions without costly redesign.

Communication

Enabling sustainability

Whether it’s district networks or heat pumps, our exchangers help you cut CO₂ emissions and improve efficiency scores to meet regulations.

Applications in the HVAC heating and cooling industry

District heating and cooling

District networks channel heating and cooling directly to residential and commercial buildings through insulated pipes. 

Tranter gasketed plate exchangers deliver high efficiency and reliability in these systems, capable of managing small LMTD and high NTU duties while protecting chillers from fouling and keeping networks stable.

Geothermal

Geothermal taps into the earth’s steady temperatures to heat and cool buildings or generate power.

From spa resorts to district heating, Tranter exchangers connect underground resources with building systems reliably, making geothermal practical, efficient, and long-lasting.

Heat pumps

Heat pumps are redefining HVAC as electrification and energy reuse accelerate. Tranter exchangers maximize their efficiency by transferring low-grade waste heat into usable heating and cooling. 

Compact designs simplify integration into both new and retrofit projects, helping operators cut energy use while raising sustainability performance.
