• Gasket destruction > Overrun of operating conditions (check
the operating parameters).
• Plate destruction > Corrosion or erosion (check the type and
speed of the fluids being circulated; install filters).
• Plate destruction > Overpressure (check the pressure of the
fluids; watch out for sudden or frequent changes in pres-
sure or temperature).
• Plate destruction > The heat exchanger has frozen (either
make sure that the room temperature does not drop below
0°C while the system is not in use or drain the circuits).
• Leaks > The tightening dimension is wrong (check the tight-
ness of the plate pack).
• Leaks > The frame or a number of plates are dented (con-
tact CARRIER).
• Pollution > Leak of a dangerous or polluting fluid (have spill
trays on hand).
• Explosion > Accidental mixing of circulating fluids resulting
in the release of explosive fumes (make sure that resulting

1.5 - Receiving the unit

• Upon delivery, check the contents for missing or damaged
items. Note any missing or damaged items on the delivery
slip. Inform the carrier of said damaged or missing items by
registered letter within three days of delivery and forward a
copy to CARRIER.
• The front of each heat exchanger is fitted with a data plate
listing a service number. Please state this number in all cor-
respondence.

1.6 - Handling

• The handling and unloading equipment is for the account of
the recipient.
• Follow the rigging instructions (Figures 1a, 1b and 2).
• Use web slings (no metal chains). Insert them in the desig-
nated notches on the head and follower.
• The unit's weight is stated on the delivery slip and the ship-
ping note.
• When moving and handling the heat exchanger, make sure
that it is properly supported and secured as its high centre
of gravity may cause it to tip over easily.
• Never lift the unit by its guide rails, compression bolts or
pipes, as doing so can cause them to bend.
• Shield the plates from impacts as they could cause irrepara-
ble leaks.
