SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE FOR PLATE HEAT EXCHANGERS

With a service and maintenance programme you can reduce the risk of things going wrong before they become a major problem

                                       PLATE CLEANING                                                                              

It is important to keep the heat exchanger plates clean and free from debris. Fouling can reduce the capacity and heat transfer of the heat exchanger. The gaskets are carefully removed from each plate and then the plates are immersed in a series of chemical tanks, they are then rinsed off using a high pressure washer and dried before being inspected for cleanliness

 

 

DIE PENETRANT TESTING

Once the plates have been dried they are sprayed with a water soluble fluorescent dye and inspected with an ultra violet light for cracks and pinholes

GASKET REPLACEMENT

Plates which are suitable for re-use are re-gasketted using only genuine manufacturers gaskets and approved adhesives as required.

Where gaskets are glued and require curing they are placed in a temperature controlled oven
