Leaving one of the deposits, while removing the
other one at the same time, may cause corrosion in
the heat exchanger.
The cleaning instruction
of the heat exchanger
can be obtained
from the manufacturer.
5.1.
Pressure drop
1.
Check whether the valves with the non-return
valves are opened:
– m e a s u re t h e p re s s u re u p s t re a m a n d
downstream of the valves,
– measure / assess the flow rate, where
possible.
2.
If the observed pressure drop is greater than
the one determined for the current flow, check
point 3. If the pressure drop is less than the one
determined in the specification, it can be
connected with the improper selection of the
pump.
3.
The pressure drop can be caused by the
deposits stored on the heat transfer surface. It
is noticeable through the reading of the
temperature diverging from the correct one.
