1.1 - Preface
Your heat exchanger will give you full satisfaction provided you
maintain it well, in full, and diligently.
• Be sure to keep the following documents in a safe place:
1) this owner’s and servicing manual (supplied with the
heat exchanger);
2) the CE certificate of conformity, if necessary;
• Your plate heat exchanger has a limited range of temper-
atures and pressures. As it is highly sensitive to sudden
changes in these parameters, all precautions must be taken
to avoid operating outside the limits indicated on the name-
plate.
• Excessive temperatures will damage the gaskets (install the
appropriate safety thermostats, etc.).
• Excessive operating pressures or differential pressures will
damage the gaskets and plates (install the appropriate safe-
ty valves, etc.).
• Plate heat exchangers are highly sensitive to pressure surg-
es. Accordingly, the control must be designed to prevent
this occurring and QUARTER-TURN VALVES MUST NOT BE
INSTALLED ON ANY OF THE CIRCUITS.
• Given the large number of gaskets, leaks may occasionally
occur. To protect against this eventuality, install protective
screens if dangerous fluids are used or the temperatures
rise to above 60°C.
• CIPRIANI may not be held liable for any damage or injury re-
sulting from failure to follow the instructions in this manual.
• CIPRIANI is not liable for any consequences that may result
from the accidental mixing of the fluids used in the heat
exchanger.
1.2 - Regulations
• Official inspections: some heat exchangers must be regular-
ly inspected by official bodies. It is the operator’s responsibil-
ity to organise these inspections directly with the competent
bodies. The dossier sent to our principal must therefore be
kept in a safe place.
• The heat exchanger risk category according to the European
Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU), is indi-
cated on the identification nameplate.
• You must make sure that the entire system complies with
the directives and legislation in effect in the country of op-
eration.
• This heat exchanger must not be used for purposes other
than those stated on the order documents. In particular,
do not use fluids other than those specified at the time of
ordering.
• Scrupulously comply with the operating conditions set out
in the order documents. They were used to determine the
equipment category set out in the European Pressure Equip-
ment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU). CIPRIANI shall not be
held liable for any or consequential or incidental damages
resulting from failure to do so.
• CIPRIANI must be notified of any changes in the operating
conditions and will inform you of the procedure to follow.
