Plate and Frame Heat Exchangers

Tranter PHE, Inc.r Plate and Frame Heat Exchangers are designed to provide maximum efficiency in transferring heat from one liquid to another, or from steam to liquid.

Due to their high efficiency, the units can handle temperature approaches of less than 2°F. They also offer "U" values significantly greater (> 1500 Btu/hr ft² °F) than shell and tube or other traditional types of heat exchangers, due to the unique turbulence created by their corrugated plates, which eliminates stagnant areas in liquid flow and promotes maximum heat transfer. This translates to less expensive and more compact heat exchangers, occupying 50 to 90% less space.

The velocity profile and induced turbulence of Tranter PHE, Inc.r units causes dirty product deposits to be continually removed from the heat transfer surface during operation, thereby reducing fouling. Effective use of this turbulence can be made with in-place cleaning, which allows back-flushing water or pumping cleaning solutions into the units without disassembling. Units can also be taken apart for cleaning the plate surfaces.

The company's commitment to superior plate designs in a wide variety of sizes ensures that the units offer more plates, more options and more precise heat transfer to exactly match the customer's unique heat transfer requirements with maximum performance and economy.
