Eliminating Downtime In Mission-Critical Compressor Applications

CHALLENGE

Find a compact welded replacement for gasketed plate and frame heat exchangers as compressor oil coolers to eliminate gasket failures and oil leaks.

SOLUTION

A Tranter SUPERMAX Shell And Plate Heat Exchanger

RESULTS

Compact size meant only 30–50% of the space and up to 70% less weight required by an equivalent shell and tube exchanger:

  • Less steel and lower purchase price
  • Shorter lead time to delivery
  • Less expensive delivery
  • Faster heat transfer with 63% less expensive synthetic lubricants fluid volume
Tranter SUPERMAX Shell And Plate Heat Exchanger solved automatic shutdown problems associated with leaking compressor lube oil cooler gaskets on remote, unmanned gas compression skids.
