10 important warnings for your plate heat exchanger
**Make sure that the current operating conditions (temperature and flow rates) comply with the design values.
** During the first commissioning, remove the air from the installation connected to the heat exchanger, but in this process, open and close the valves slowly to prevent pressure shocks and water hammer.
**Use filters and strainers to prevent the sediments carried by the fluids from clogging the heat exchanger.
**Check temperature and pressure changes daily and watch for signs of leakage that may occur outside the exchanger.
**Ensure that the heat exchanger studs are cleaned and well lubricated at regular intervals.
**Opening the exchangers is one of the most important factors affecting their lifespan. Therefore, prevent unnecessary trips by following the original performance values.
**If possible, use the CIP (Chemical Circulation Cleaning) method to delay opening the exchanger for cleaning.
**If there are spare units, always keep them clean and dry. If the working heat exchanger is disabled, flush it with clean water and empty it.
**Make sure the exchanger is not exposed to excessive water and rain. Protect from ultraviolet rays and ozone that may form from electrical sources.
**For guaranteed, long-lasting performance and reliability, use only original spare parts. Ensure critical spare parts are in stock and in appropriate storage conditions.
