7.1 Strainer on water pipe
To protect the water cooling type product, you must install a strainer with 50 mesh or more on the heat water supply
pipe. If not installed, it can result in damage of heat exchanger by the following situation.
1. Heat water supply within the plate type heat exchanger is composed of multiple small paths.
2. If you do not use a strainer with 50 mesh or more, alien particles can partially block the water paths.
3. When running the heater, the plate type heat exchanger plays the role of the evaporator, and at this time, the
temperature of the coolant side drops to drop the temperature of the heat water supply, which can result in icing
point in the water paths.
4. And as the heating process progresses, the water paths can be partially frozen to lead to damage in plate type
heat exchanger.
5. As a result of the damage of the heat exchanger from the freezing, the coolant side and the heat water source
side will be mixed to make the product unusable.
