Improper transport
Damage to the connectors or the frame.
Loss of fluid and nominal pressure, weakening of the frame.
The heat exchanger must be packaged on pallets, secured with a strap and
wrapped with protective foil. The heat exchanger should not be pressurised in
such a way that would change the structure of the frame.
Lift the heat exchanger using suitable equipment. If the heat exchanger is still
in its packaging, transport and lift it with the pallet. Otherwise, use ropes in the
holes provided for this purpose.
Do not grab the heat exchanger by its connectors.
Incorrect positioning of the heat exchanger
Little space for heat exchanger maintenance, insufficient installations next to
control panels, on thermal systems or mechanical loads, corrosive chemicals
and solvents, which may somehow come into contact with the external parts of
the heat exchanger.
Improper maintenance due to lack of space, release of hot fluids onto electrical
circuitry, damage to the external frame and structural weakening, failure to
maintain nominal pressure, flooding.
Ensure there is sufficient space around the heat exchanger for maintenance.
Place a container beneath the exchanger that can accommodate all the fluid.
Install a suitable earth termination system in the system.
It is prohibited to burden the heat exchanger with external loads, and it is the
responsibility of the installer to protect the heat exchanger from external loads.
Inaccurate heat exchanger closing rate
Loss of nominal pressure, incorrect system operation.
Loss of fluid.
The closing rate and the number of plates are shown in the heat exchanger
manual; check the correspondence.
The exterior of the two large plates must be parallel at the time the plate package
is tensioned.
