Tranter acquires HES GmbH Heat Exchanger Systems
Tranter - a world leader in heat transfer equipment - has acquired HES GmbH Heat Exchanger Systems based in Schopfheim, Germany; a company with focus on spiral heat exchangers mainly to the (petro-)-chemical, steel, pharmacy, food and wastewater treatment industry. HES will be integrated into Tranter and continues as Tranter HES GmbH as from February 1, 2009. "With this acquisition we strengthen Tranter's product offering, especially our welded product portfolio," says Chuck Monachello, President of Tranter. "Our strategy has been successful and we provide our world-wide customers the broadest choice of gasketed and welded plate heat exchangers."
A spiral heat exchanger is precisely what it says - a circular heat exchanger with two concentric spiral channels, one for each fluid The increased turbulence in a spiral heat exchanger counter-acts clogging of the channels and reduces the need for cleaning. In fact, when replacing shell and tube heat exchangers in a refinery - it could mean reducing the need for cleaning from twice a week to annually.
Tranter HES GmbH looks forward to continuing to serve its customers.
