| The Maxchanger all-welded plate heat
exchanger bears the legacy of Tranter's more than 65 years of
solving heat transfer problems with Superchanger and Platecoil
plate-type heat exchangers. It is an infinitely superior
heat exchanger, where size and cost are important.

The compact Maxchanger unit transfers
heat in much the same way as the Superchanger plate
and frame heat exchanger, but does so without gaskets. This
ensures greater compactness than a gasketed plate exchanger, and
requires only 30-50% of space required for a shell and tube heat
exchanger.

| Extremely high "U" values
and low pressure drops are a result of the unique geometry of its interspaces.
The specially embossed dimples on each plate provide maximum
pressure-resistant heat transfer contact points. This design
allows the Maxchanger to be capable of running under high
temperature/ high pressure applications. |

How the Maxchanger Works:
Counter-Current Flow
Specially dimpled plates are rotated
and welded completely together between end plates, and in alternate channels at
the inlet / outlet ends and connections. This thoroughly seals the entire
unit to prevent leaking or cross-contamination of hot and cold media.
Counter-current flow of fluids is achieved in all
Maxchanger designs, providing a close temperature approach capability of less
than 2F.
Channels formed between the welded plates and end
connections direct the two heat transfer media counter-currently through
alternate paths for immediate thermal response and maximum efficiency.
