Installation
Before installation
To consider before installation
•
Before connecting any piping, make sure all foreign objects have been flushed out of the
piping system that should be connected to the heat exchanger.
•
Before start-up, check that all the tightening bolts are firmly tightened and that the plate pack
has the correct measurements. Refer to the PHE drawing.
•
When connecting the piping system, make sure the pipes do not subject the heat exchanger
to stress or strain.
•
To avoid water hammer, do not use fast-closing valves.
•
Make sure that no air remains inside the heat exchanger.
•
Safety valves shall be installed according to current pressure vessel regulations.
•
It is recommended that protection sheets are used to cover the plate pack. Protect against
the leakage of hot or aggressive fluids and the hot plate pack.
•
If the heat exchanger surface temperature is expected to be hot or cold, take protective
actions, such as insulate the heat exchanger, to avoid risk for personnel injuries. Always
ensure that required actions are according to local regulations.
•
Design pressures and temperatures for each model are marked on the name plate. These
shall not be exceeded.
