Schematics presented here illustrate typical ways they are doing it. Superchanger® plate and frame heat exchangers are used in a wide variety of shipboard applications—particularly for cooling main engine jacket water and cooling main engine lube oil with fresh water or sea- water; cooling the ship's central fresh water; cooling electronic equipment; or recovering heat from condensate. They are far more effi- cient than tubular systems, and provide heat transfer coefficients from two to five times greater than those achieved by shell and tube units. They also require 10% to 50% less deck space and weigh up to one-sixth less. Superchanger units can be equipped with titanium plates which offer the best resistance to corrosion and erosion when exposed to seawater. Intermixing or cross-contamination of hot and cold liquids is virtually impossible. Low fouling rates reduce cleaning require- ments for Superchanger units, that are designed for easy maintenance. They can be cleaned-in-place by backflushing, or quickly disassembled by hand, cleaned and put back in operation. Platecoil® prime surface heat exchangers offer optimum temperature control. A Platecoil bank-in-tank unit provides wide interspaces for effectively passing solids while efficiently heating seawater containing oil from spills. Platecoil bayonet heaters provide a large amount of efficient primary heating surface in a single unit for maintaining desired temper- atures in storage tanks. These heaters help promote convection currents for better heat transfer rates and tank temperature uniformity. Platecoil suction heaters provide immediate heating for pumping oil out of tanks. Tranter plate-type heat exchangers can be supplied in full compliance with codes and specifications as required by the ABS; the U.S. Coast Guard; shock testing per MIL-S- 901C; vibration testing per MIL-STD-167-1; and ASME U stamp per Sec. VIII Div. 1. With over 50 years of heat transfer problem solving experience, Tranter is uniquely poised to answer your tough questions and solve your precise needs. Call us at (817) 723-7125.
