Tranter NovusBloc® Welded Block Heat Exchanger

Tranter NovusBloc® welded block heat exchangers are designed for industrial heat transfer applications that require welded plate construction rather than gasketed plate and frame or shell and plate exchanger designs.

This product family is built for demanding process environments where equipment selection may involve pressure variation, temperature changes, single-phase or two-phase flow conditions, and access for inspection or mechanical cleaning.

Process Controls Corporation - Tranter NovusBloc® Welded Block Heat Exchanger

The NovusBloc® design uses welded plates and does not rely on gaskets for fluid separation. This construction helps distinguish it from gasketed plate and frame exchangers, while its block-style configuration supports access for mechanical cleaning and visual inspection. The welded block format is also separate from Tranter shell and plate designs, which use a different construction style and should be evaluated independently.

For facilities comparing industrial welded plate heat exchanger options, NovusBloc® can be considered where welded construction, process accessibility, and engineered heat transfer selection are important.

Process Controls Corporation supports customers in reviewing application conditions, system requirements, and available Tranter heat exchanger options to help identify an appropriate welded block heat exchanger for the process.
