No unnecessary ballast
Why fill up your engine room with heavy, bulky equipment,
when efficiency and economy are vital factors?
A plate heat exchanger from Tranter is only about 1/3 of the
size and 1/6 of the weight of a shell-&-tube exchanger of
comparable performance. Even if it seems more reasonable to
invest in a tube exchanger, this would have a much higher life
cycle cost than a plate heat exchanger.
One reason is that the heat transfer properties of a plate heat
exchanger are 3 to 5 times higher. Another is the close temperature approach which is as low as 1K.
Efficiency pays off!
A plate heat exchanger offers many advantages compared
with conventional shell-and-tube exchangers
Up to 50% more efficient
Up to 90% more compact
3-5 times higher k-values
Unique turbulent flow design
Closer temperature approach as low as 1K
Far less material less use of exotic alloys or titanium

Tranter has a global network of service centres that offers quick and reliable maintenance of plate and frame heat exchangers of all brands.
Plates are cleaned by immersion. The washing cycles are carried out according to the type of plate
material and the nature of fouling.
These are the conditions in wich you could find your plate heat exchanger without regular maintenance.
At our service centres, Tranter can overhaul your frame and all your frame components if required. Liquid dye penetrant inspection is offered to ensure
that the reconditioned plates are free from defects such as cracks and pinholes.

High-theta plate
Low-theta plate
The corrugated plates have a gasket along the periphery. There are
also gaskets around two of the four ports, which means that only
one of the two fluids has access to the heating surface. The next plate
has gaskets around the other two ports. Thus a channel system is
created where two fluids pass through every other channel respectively. Leakage between the two fluids is not possible thanks to double gaskets around the ports. The pressure drop and heat transfer
are dependent on factors such as the arrow angle of the plate pattern. An obtuse arrow angle (high-theta plate) means high resistance and a high thermal driving force. An acute angle (low-theta
plate) means a low pressure drop but a lower thermal driving force.
