The heat exchanger Ultramax is designed to handle high temperature applications and corrosive substances unsuita-ble for traditional gasketed models. Tranter has combined the compact, space-saving footprint and proven efficiency of a plate and frame exchanger in the gasket free all-welded Ultramax. Available in a range of standard connection sizes up to six inches, Ultramax overcomes the limitations of gasketed models for handling liquids, gases and mixtures of the two from -196 to +350 °C, at very high pressures (maximum design pressure 96,5 bar).
Ultramax works in the same way as a conventional plate and frame heat exchanger, with alternating channels for hot and cold media and true counter-current flow which offers full LMTD and allows closer temperature approaches, delivering superior performance compared to cross flow designed units. Welded plate heat exchangers are now used extensively in chemically aggressive processes including oil and gas production and refineries; hydrocarbon processing units such as primaries, intermediates and polymers; pharmaceutical and speciality fine chemicals; and inorganic chemicals production such as chlor-alkali or hydrogen peroxide.
