Compact Welded Heat Exchangers

Inproheat Industries offers Compact Welded heat exchangers from Tranter and Nexson. 

These heat exchangers are defined by an assembly of plates that are usually washboard-patterned-embossed or herringbone with almost all of the design material being involved in the heat transfer process. Every other plate is turned 180°, which causes the ridges of the adjacent plates to intersect with one another – ultimately forming a lattice of contact points. When these points are subsequently brazed together, the unit functions as a compact and pressure-resistant heat exchanger.

Compact welded heat exchangers are commonly used in processes and applications involving liquids, gases, and steam such as liquid-to-liquid cooling, liquid to steam cooling, gas-to-liquid, gas-to-gas, and two-phase mixtures.

Specific applications that are ideal for these heat exchangers include:

• General purpose oil, water, and gas cooling.
• Cooling mechanical and electrical equipment.
• Compressors, hydraulic packages, lasers, and diesel engines.
• Refrigerant evaporators, condensers, chillers or air dryers.
• Liquid to refrigerant and other refrigerant applications (including ammonia).
• High temperature thermal oil processing.
• Heaters of organic chemicals such as solvents.
• Vegetable oil processing.
• Desuperheaters in heat recovery.
• High temperature interchangers. 

Additionally, some types can be used for corrosive chemicals, high pressure or extreme temperatures in chemical process industries or in other industries that feature particularly aggressive environments.
