Transporting the plate heat exchanger: 

Before transporting the plate heat 

exchanger, always ensure that the hoisting 

gear is of sufficient dimensions and 

securely fixed. Never step underneath 

suspended loads.

Hazardous flow media: Hazardous flow 

media present dangers of chemical burns, 

burning or poisoning. Always wear suitable

protective clothing when working on a heat 

exchanger that has hazardous flow media.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

These operating instructions are for 

operators of heat exchangers and for 

all persons who are responsible for the setup, operation, 

maintenance and repair of the device. These operating 

instructions are generally applicable to all gasketed plate heat 

exchangers supplied by Aurora.

USER NOTES, DRAWINGS AND FIGURES. The drawings 

in these operating instructions show typical examples. For 

reasons of clarity, some drawings have been greatly simplified. 

The actual details depend on the individually delivered heat 

exchanger. You will find diagrams and dimensions of the heat 

exchanger in the technical documentation supplied.

Note for the operator of the heat exchanger. The operator of 

the plate heat exchanger is the person who is in charge of the 

operation of the device.

Note for the technician who sets up the heat exchanger. These 

operating instructions contain no details about special tools 

that are needed for the setting up and operating the plate heat 

exchanger.

SAFETY NOTES IN THE TEXT. In these operating 

instructions, the following are used in order to draw your 

attention to dangers when handling the heat exchanger or 

provide you with information about handling the heat 

exchanger:

CAUTION. This means danger to the life and health of persons. 

The following text explains the type of danger and its effects 

and provides instructions for averting the danger. Not adhering 

to the instructions can have health effects up to and including 

death.

DANGER. This symbol means danger for the heat 

exchanger, for parts, or for its environment. The following 

text explains the type of danger and its effects and provides 

instructions for averting the danger. Not adhering to the 

instructions can cause substantial damage to the plate heat 

exchanger.

NOTE. This appears above paragraphs that provide you with 

useful or important notes for the correct handling of the plate 

heat exchanger. This information helps you to avoid problems 

and makes it easier to handle the plate heat exchanger.

MANAGER’S OBLIGATIONS:

Danger of injury!

In the case of hazardous media (acids or similar media), high 

pressures and high/low temperatures in the heat exchanger, 

there is a danger of injury during maintenance or in the case of 

leakages.

  1. In this case you should use a protective shroud.

 2. This shroud should be removed only when the heat 

exchanger reaches room pressure and room temperature, or 

is empty.

As manager of the plate heat exchanger you must ensure that 

each operator who is responsible for the setup, operation, 

maintenance or repair of the heat exchanger has read and 

understood, from beginning to end, the parts of the operating 

instructions important for the job.

The heat exchanger is built according to state-of-the-art 

technology and is reliable in service. In spite of that, the heat 

exchanger may present dangers or may be damaged if you do 

not observe the following instructions:

 1. These operating instructions must always be accessible to 

the operators entrusted to work on the heat exchanger.

 2. Only operators who are instructed in handling the 

heat exchanger and the basic work safety and accident 

prevention regulations should work on the heat exchanger. 

For safety reasons it should be forbidden for other persons 

to be in the area of the heat exchanger.

 3. The safety knowledge of the operators should be checked 

regularly.

  4. As manager you should ensure that:

  a. The heat exchanger remains in functional order.

  b. No premature wear of specific parts of the heat exchanger 

results from unfavorable ambient conditions.

  c. Unfavorable ambient conditions for the gaskets might 

include:

 

• Aggressive gases and/or aggressive aerosols in the 

surrounding air.

 

• Effects of UV radiation (e.g. sunlight).

 

• Extreme ambient temperatures.

  d. Unfavorable ambient conditions for the metal 

components might include:

 

• Aggressive gases and/or aggressive aerosols in the 

surrounding air.

 

• Humidity.

  e. All maintenance/inspections are carried out in regular 

intervals.

  f. No changes or modifications are carried out on the plate 

heat exchanger without being checked by an appropriate 

party to be sure that the modifications will not result in 

unsafe operation.

  g. All appropriate laws and regulations, even if they are not 

explicitly mentioned here, are observed.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

A series of contoured plates with transfer ports forms a pack of 

flow channels in the plate heat exchanger. The heat exchange 

media flow through these flow channels in alternate channels.

CAUTION
