Tranter GX-26 Series

Tranter Tranter GX-26 Series — Heat Exchangers. It is normally installed in an engine-room cooling, heating or heat-recovery circuit according to the vessel piping arrangement. Its primary purpose is to transfer heat between two fluid circuits through a compact plate pack while keeping the media separated. Compared with shell-and-tube equipment, a gasketed plate exchanger offers compact heat-transfer area and can normally be opened for cleaning, gasket replacement and plate inspection. The model designation identifies the listed configuration, but no additional meaning is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact plate material, gasket material, tightening dimension, pressure rating and thermal duty, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

Plate fouling or scaling increases differential pressure and reduces heat-transfer performance
Gasket ageing, displacement or chemical attack causes external leakage from the plate pack
Plate corrosion, erosion or cracking causes internal cross-contamination between the two fluid circuits
Incorrect plate sequence or compression after overhaul causes immediate leakage or poor thermal performance
Blocked upstream strainers or restricted valves reduce flow and produce abnormal inlet-to-outlet temperatures

Service & Maintenance

Trend temperatures and differential pressure and inspect the plate pack for leakage. When opened, examine plates for deposits, corrosion and deformation and check gaskets for hardening or displacement. Reassemble only in the documented plate sequence and compression condition. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for tightening dimension, cleaning method and acceptance limits.
