6. Installation
6.1 Foundation
The APV Plate Heat Exchanger should be
placed on a solid foundation floor. If the unit
is provided with feet, the dimensions and
placement of these are stated on the
assembly drawing.
6.2 Space requirements
Ensure that there is sufficient space around
the plate heat exchanger to separate the
plate pack and to remove or insert plates.
The amount of free space required is stated
on the assembly drawing.
Ì
!
Ensure sufficient space around the plate
heat exchanger.
6.3 Connections
If the plate heat exchanger has liquid
connections on the follower, it is important
that the compressed dimension is checked
against the drawing before the pipes are
connected. For easy disassembly and
reassembly of the plate heat exchanger, a
pipe elbow should be used at all follower
connections.
The plate heat exchanger connections on the
follower and connector grids have little
strength against pipe work or nozzle loads.
Such loads can arise for example from
thermal expansion. Proper care must be
taken to avoid transfer of such pipe forces
and moments to the PHE.
