Improve efficiency with Tranter heat exchangers

Heat Exchangers for Refrigeration & Heat Pumps

Refrigiration

If cooling slips, food spoils, medicines lose potency, and warehouses full of products are at risk. That’s the world of refrigeration — and increasingly, of industrial heat pumps, where stable thermal performance is just as critical. Add rising energy costs and tougher refrigerant regulations, and you’re under pressure to keep systems efficient, reliable, and safe.
 
That’s where Tranter’s heat exchangers come in. They are built for both refrigeration and heat‑pump duty: efficient enough to cut operating costs, rugged enough to handle natural refrigerants like ammonia and CO₂, and service‑friendly to keep downtime short.

Industrial refrigeration

Say goodbye to spoilage and energy waste

For refrigeration and heat pumps, reliable heat exchanger efficiency cuts energy bills, protects valuable stock, and keeps systems online.

  • Maximize heat transfer and reduce the energy load of refrigeration systems and heat pumps.
  • Compact, modular solutions that work in crowded plant rooms or retrofits.
  • Stainless and alloy plates designed for aggressive media like ammonia and CO₂.
  • High efficiency and long service life cut costs far beyond the initial investment.
  • Heat exchangers that help reduce CO₂ emissions and meet stricter energy standards.

Performance for your needs

Applications across Refrigeration & Heat pumps

Process chillers

From food preservation to pharmaceutical storage, process chillers are mission-critical.

Our heat exchangers help optimize chiller performance, reduce refrigerant charge cutting energy use during operations and using stored cooling capacity to handle heavy loads.

Industrial heat pumps

Tranter’s heat exchanger solutions deliver high efficiency and reliability helping decarbonize industrial heat.

Compact and gasket-free, Tranters’s heat exchangers increase industrial heat pumps' COP and improve excess heat utilization.

Heat exchangers for every stage

Tailored heat exchanger solutions for every position in the cycle

Tranter supports all key positions in refrigeration and heat pumps, providing heat exchangers compatible with all compressor types and all refrigerants.

Evaporator

Tranter's plate and shell heat exchangers can operate as flooded or direct expansion (DX) evaporators.

Condenser

Our flexible plate and shell heat exchanger design helps optimize energy consumption.

Economizer

Our heat exchangers improve efficiency of the system by operating in flooded mode or direct expansion mode.

Superheater/De-superheater

Tranter’s solutions are proven to boost overall energy recovery with minimum possible pressure drop loss.

Cascades
