Maintenance of plate heat exchangers
Plate heat exchangers are used in a wide variety of applications and often are exposed to high stresses.
This can result in soiling or hairline cracking in heat exchanger plates and in wearing of the gaskets. This can be counteracted with various measures, such as …
Plate heat exchangers are used in process engineering plants for heating, evaporating and cooling process liquids.
If the heat exchangers are used with media that tend to foul, cyclic cleaning of the heat exchangers cannot be avoided. Electrochemical polishing reduces …
A plate heat exchanger, too, will get on in years at some point. This applies in particular to the gaskets, whether glued or adhesive-free. This article shows what has to be taken into account for maintenance and repair.
Plate heat exchangers are important components of thermal process engineering. …
The first signs of wear on the elastomer gaskets can be seen in the form of leaks when the heat exchanger is cold started or when it is shut down during the cooling phase.
The following factors influence the service life of elastomer gaskets: the mode of operation of the plate heat exchanger …
