Efficient heat transfer
The SUPERCHANGER heat exchanger is
designed to provide maximum efficiency in
transferring heat from one liquid to another
or from steam to liquid.
It consists of a series of gasketed, embossed
metal plates arranged alternately and bolted
together between end frames to form
channels through which hot and cold media
flow. The hot fluid flows on one side of the
plate while the cold fluid flows on the other,
with the plate itself providing the most
effective means to transfer heat from one
fluid to the other. Gaskets on the plates seal
the channels and provide flow direction.
As liquids flow counter-currently through the
channels between the plates, the cold liquid
becomes warmer and the hot liquid cooler.
Most units are designed for a one-pass/one-
pass flow arrangement, resulting in all
nozzles being installed on the stationary end
frame, which facilitates simpler piping
arrangements and easier disassembly.
Due to its high efficiency, the
SUPERCHANGER unit can handle temperature
approaches of less than 2°F (1°C). It also
offers “U” Values in excess of 1,500 Btu/hr ft2
°F, which is significantly greater than other
exchangers, due to the unique turbulence
created by its corrugated plates, which
eliminates stagnant areas in liquid flow and
promotes maximum heat transfer. This
translates to a less expensive and more
compact heat exchanger.
The unit’s velocity profile and induced
turbulence causes dirty product deposits to be
continually removed from the heat transfer
surface during operation, thereby reducing
fouling.
Effective use of the plate’s turbulence can be
made with in-place cleaning, which allows
back flushing water or pumping cleaning
solutions into the unit without disassembling.
Units can also be taken apart for cleaning the
plate surfaces. Plates can be electro polished
to make cleaning easier, either manually or
in-place.

How SUPERCHANGER PHEs outperform shell & tube units
SUPERCHANGER heat exchangers transfer
heat more efficiently than shell & tube
units in most applications, due in large
measure to the turbulent flow created by
the corrugated patterns of their plates.
They can pack greater than 22,000 ft2
(2,044 m2) of super-efficient heat transfer
surface in a single unit with flow rates up
to 25,400 gpm (5,768 m3/hr).
They use only 10-50% of the space
required by shell & tube units and are
much lighter in weight.
And, they cost less.
