Efficiency and energy savings for Semiconductors

Heat Exchangers for the Semiconductor Industry

Semiconductor-main

In semiconductor manufacturing plants, even a tiny thermal shift can wipe out yield. Here, cooling is about avoiding drips and hot spots, as well as handling full load swings, keeping water and air temps locked in, and fighting wear across both cooling loops and tools. 

Tranter knows this well. We’ve built exchangers for semiconductor duty for exactly these demands: high thermal consistency, smart integration, and service that anticipates surprises.

Semiconductors

Say goodbye to spoilage and energy waste

Tighter temperature control

Our optimized plate geometry keeps flow distribution even, so cooling water and air delivery stay rock-steady across load swings.

Communication

Lower pumping costs

Optimized flow paths reduce pressure drop without compromising heat transfer, cutting pump energy use hour after hour.

Longer service life

Stainless and high-alloy plates are chosen for aggressive chemicals, treated water, and frequent cleaning cycles, leading to fewer replacements and lower lifetime cost.

Conversation-1

No surprise stoppages

Fouling-resistant channel patterns and quick-open frames mean you plan maintenance windows instead of reacting to failures.

Easier integration

Even in crowded utility chases, modular frames and flexible connections make retrofits straightforward. New fabs get clean installs without layout chaos.

Semiconductors

Applications across semiconductor manufacturing

Acid preparation and chemicals

Etching baths don’t forgive mistakes. If the temperature or concentration drifts, your yield suffers. 

Tranter plate and frame exchangers give you the precise control those baths demand. Built with high-alloy or nickel plates, they stand up to corrosive acids and chemicals without sacrificing reliability.

Water treatment – Ultrapure water (UPW)

Microchip manufacturing relies on tight control of water quality. Our welded titanium exchangers maintain ultrapure water and cooling mediums at precise temperatures to protect purity and help reduce water consumption. This means lower operating costs without compromising process integrity.

Wafer preparation

Cutting silicon ingots into wafers is tough on both the saws and the coolant. Without stable cooling, blades overheat and slurry performance slips. 

Tranter gasketed plate heat exchangers keep cutting fluids precisely cooled, in a compact and efficient design that fits right into wafer prep lines.
