PLATECOIL
Tranter PLATECOIL® Prime Surface Heat Exchangers are constructed from two sheets resistance-welded together, one or both of which is die-formed, comprising a series of passages through which a heating or cooling media flows. Panels are manifolded into circuits for precise heat exchange duties. These highly versatile exchangers conform to ISO 9001 standards for design, manufacture and testing for either one-off, special fabrications or high-volume engineered subsystems.

HOW THE PLATECOIL PRIME SURFACE HEAT EXCHANGER WORKS
Three styles of Multi-Zone and two styles of Serpentine flow configurations provide the right combination of flow rate and heat transfer rate with steam, gases or liquids.
PLATECOIL flow patterns applied for steam provide reserve capacity to compensate for intermittent overloads during start-ups, distributing steam virtually instantaneously to all levels of the plate.
PLATECOIL styles for liquid heating or cooling media, including hot oil or refrigerants, promote high internal flow velocities for high heat transfer rates.
ECONOCOIL® hydraulically expanded panels are a special PLATECOIL variant available in an assortment of single-embossed or double-embossed styles and sizes in serpentine or parallel passes. Titanium construction provides long service life where highly corrosive environments exist. Light-gauge titanium ECONOCOIL panels provide better thermal conductivity than units constructed from heavy-gauge material. High turbulence results in low scaling/fouling tendency on external and internal surfaces.
