Description

Name plate

The type of unit, manufacturing number and manufacturing year can be found on the name
plate. Pressure vessel details in accordance with the applicable pressure vessel code are also
given. The name plate is fixed to the frame plate, most commonly, or the pressure plate. The
name plate can be a steel plate or a sticker label.

Warning!

The design pressures and temperatures for each unit are marked on the name plate.
These must not be exceeded.

Caution!

Avoid aggressive chemicals for cleaning the heat exchanger when a sticker label is used.

The design pressure (11) and the design temperature (10), as given on the name plate, are the
values against which the heat exchanger is approved according to the pressure vessel code in
question. The design temperature (10) may exceed the maximum operating temperature (8) for
which the gaskets have been selected for. If the operating temperatures as specified on the
PHE drawing are to be changed the supplier should be consulted.
