The SUPERMAX® Shell & Plate Heat Exchanger provides the thermal efficiency and compactness of a plate & frame unit under conditions that would ordinarily call for a shell & tube unit. With its high heat transfer efficiency, SUPERMAX requires only 30–50% of the space and up to 70% less weight compared to an equivalent S&T exchanger. This efficiency also means less steel, lower purchase price, shorter lead time and less expensive delivery. The SUPERMAX heat exchanger is designed for pressures to 70 barg (1,015 psig) and temperatures up to 537°C (1,000°F) for standard range units. Extended range units are available for higher temperature and pressure applications. With alternating channels for hot and cold media, the SUPERMAX can be configured to provide true countercurrent or co-current flow. The SUPERMAX line offers three different diameters of circular plates. The SUPERMAX accordion-like plate core is highly tolerant of thermal expansion. A patented compression bellows option allows for extreme thermal expansion in high temperature applications. End plates, nozzles and top and bottom covers are welded to the shell to form a pressure vessel of high integrity. SUPERMAX plate materials may be Type 316L stainless steel, titanium or other alloys; shells may be fabricated of carbon steel, Types 304, 316, 316L stainless steel or titanium. The unit can be fabricated from dissimilar metals when only one side will be exposed to corrosive conditions. Nozzle sizes up to 18" can be accommodated on the shell side of the exchanger, offering higher steam and liquid flow rates. Nozzles on the plate side can be up to 4".
