INSTALLATION
Unpacking
SUPERCHANGER units (with optional shroud) are bolted
to and shipped assembled on a skid. Other optional items, if
supplied, are packed separately. All items should be checked
against packing lists.
SHOULD ANY PARTS BE MISSING OR DAMAGED,
IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY:
Tranter, Inc.

Recommended Procedures
All frame models are provided with special lifting eyeholes for
transportation and installation by crane. Rigidly set all models on
the floor by means of foundation bolts. The following installation
tips are also recommended:
1. Level the unit.
2. Locate the unit in an area that is not congested with piping
and other equipment. For units with nozzles on the movable
frame, refer to Figures 39 and 40 on page 29.
3. Provide three feet of working area around the unit.
4. The piping system must allow for thermal expansion. This
can be accomplished inherently within the piping layout or
by flexible connections.
5. Debris can cause damage to the gaskets. The gasket areas
must be free from sand, gravel, pieces of iron, etc. before the
unit is closed.
6. Lubricate the tie bolts.
7. Tighten all tie rod nuts. Tighten the unit to plate pack
dimension per assembly drawings prior to making any
assembly connections.
8. Uniformly tighten the plate pack. (See tightening instructions
following.)
9. Flush connecting piping of all debris prior to “hook-up” with
the heat exchanger.
10. Correctly center gaskets inserted between pipe flanges.
11. Do not apply valve and piping loads to the nozzles. Use
pipe supports.
12. Install shutoff valves at all nozzle locations.
13. Place vent valves for draining at the highest possible point.
14. Provide pumps sending liquid into the SUPERCHANGER
with throttling valves.
15. Install a safety relief valve if the maximum pressure output
of the pump is greater than that of the heat exchanger.
16. When a pressure control valve is installed, place it at the
inlet of the heat exchanger, even if a pressure control switch
is provided.
CAUTION: Do not expose plate and frame heat
exchangers to continuous vibration and/or high
frequency cyclic on/off operation since damage
from fatigue may occur. Do not use metering and
pulsating type pumps. If the SUPERCHANGER
unit is used in cyclic operation, the equipment
should be tightened to the minimum dimension
(see Table 3) to prevent fretting failure. Contact the
factory for assistance.
