Thermal Response Improvements In Reactor Control Loops

CHALLENGE

Find replacements for slow-responding shell and tube exchangers in reactor thermal control loops.

SOLUTION

Either Tranter SUPERCHANGERPlate And Frame Heat Exchangers (gasketed) or SUPERMAX Shell And Plate units, thanks to their high heat transfer rates and smaller hold-up volume.

RESULTS

  • Heating the jacketed reactor to the setpoint faster.
  • Controlling reaction temperature more precisely.
  • Conserving costly heat transfer fluids.
  • Obtaining better yields.
  • Reducing energy consumption
Tranter Plate Heat Exchangers can bring more precise thermal control to reactors.
