Tranter Acquires Heat

Transfer Technologies, SA

Tranter Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dover Corporation, has purchased HTT Heat Transfer

Technologies SA of Fribourg, Swit- zerland, which operates under the trade name SWEP throughout the world.

Tranter President Ken Kaltz announced the acquisition, noting that it is part of Tranter's ongoing program to expand its heat trans- fer product line. "SWEP designers and engineers are the thermal experts in brazed heat exchanger technology," said

Mr. Kaltz. "(The acquisition) expands

Tranter's own high standards of heat transfer technology beyond our plate and frame, prime surface and all-welded plate heat exchangers."

Mr. Kaltz also said SWEP's space- saving designs and high heat trans- fer capabilities were part of a new generation of OEM systems that are less expensive to install, main- tain and operate.

SWEP recently introduced what

Tranter reports is the smallest fully- functional PHE unit in the world, which can fit in a human palm.

Tranter, Inc. is located in Au- gusta, Ga. and has manufacturing facilities in Wichita Falls, Texas and Edgefield, S.C.
