7 Storage of the heat exchanger
Alfa Laval delivers the heat exchanger ready to be put into service upon
arrival, if nothing else has been agreed. Nevertheless, keep the heat
exchanger in the packing box until installation.
If storing for longer periods of time, such as one month or longer, certain
precautions should be made to avoid unnecessary damage to the heat
exchanger. Refer to
Outdoor storage on page 45 and Indoor storage on page
45.
NOTE
Alfa Laval and its representatives reserve the right to inspect the storage
space and/or equipment whenever necessary until the expiration of the
warranty period stipulated in the contract. Notification must be given 10
days prior to the date of inspection.
If there is any uncertainty about the storage of the heat exchanger, consult an
Alfa Laval representative.
7.1 Storage in packing box
If storage of the heat exchanger after delivery is known in advance, inform Alfa
Laval when ordering the heat exchanger to ensure that it will be properly
prepared for storage before packing.
Indoor storage
• Store inside a room with the temperature between 15 and 20°C (60–70°F)
and humidity up to 70%. For outdoor storage read Outdoor storage on page
45.
• To prevent damage to the gaskets, there should not be any ozone-
producing equipment in the room such as electric motors or welding
equipment.
• To prevent damage to the gaskets, do not store organic solvents or acids in
the room and avoid direct sunlight, intensive heat radiation or ultraviolet
radiation.
• The tightening bolts should be well covered with a thin layer of grease.
Refer to Closing on page 39.
