Plate heat exchangers transfer heat by passing two fluids nearby each other without them ever actually touching.
The plates have a large surface area which help to generate and transfer heat in the most efficient manner possible.
The most frequent causes of failure of a plate heat exchanger is the fouling deposits over the plates.
Calcium carbonate, calcium , calcium sulfate, and silicates
Corrosion products, rust, debris,
Metal oxides,
Mud and alumina deposits,
Organisms from bacteria and debris diatomic,
Oil wastes and oil deposits,
builds up in layers over the plate surface, eventually inhibiting the heat-coefficient exchange, making plate heat exchangers less effective.The deposits and fouling on plate surface decreases thermal performance The corrosion, crack and pin hole on the plates
causes Intermix and leak of the fluids. Leakage of fluids sometimes causes deterioration of the gaskets
A regular maintenance of a plate heat exchanger is a necessity for any successful business strategy concerned with its continued manufacturing productivity.
The maintenance of plate heat exchangers requires a complete and deep experience and expertise.
This maintenance carried out in our comprehensively-equipped workshops and is subject to frequent and in our workshops and is subject to numerous stringent quality checks to guaranty you the highest service level.
