Introducing The SUPERCHANGER® Plate & Frame HE

High heat transfer rates

Due to its high efficiency, the SUPERCHANGER® unit can handle temperature approaches of less than 1°C (2°F). It also offers “U” values significantly greater than other exchangers, above 8500 W/m2 °C (1500 Btu/hr ft2 °F). This is due to the unique turbulence created by its corrugated plates, which eliminates stagnant areas in liquid flow and promotes maximum heat transfer.

Self-cleaning action

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 backflushing water or pumping cleaning solutions into the unit without disassembling.

Units can also be taken apart for cleaning the plate surfaces. Plates can be electropolished to make cleaning easier, either manually or in-place.
