  1. Release the nuts of the tightening bolts 

on the pressure plate.

  a. Release the tightening bolts 

evenly in small steps on alternate 

sides (1-2- 3-4) and diagonally 

(1-2 and 3-4), in order to prevent 

overloading individual tightening 

bolts and tilting the pressure.

  b. Proceed similarly in the case of 

frames with more than 4 tightening 

bolts.

 2. Remove the nuts without removing 

the tightening bolts. Push the pressure 

plate out toward the support leg about 

half-way from where it was when 

tightened fully. The heat exchanger 

plates will start to fall over, but will 

not fall enough to disengage from the 

frame. If you accidentally move the 

pressure plate too far, the tie rods will 

hold the plates and keep them from 

falling out.

 3. Move the heat exchanger plates so 

that they lean back against the fixed 

pressure plate.

 4. Now remove the tightening bolts and 

pull the loose pressure plate all the 

way to the end of the frame. You can 

now safely remove the heat exchanger 

plates. One operator should remove 

the plates, and the other should make 

sure that the plates do not slip at the 

bottom and fall out.

OPENING HEAT EXCHANGERS WITH A BY FRAME.

  1. Release the nuts of the tightening bolts 

on the pressure plate.

  a. Release the tightening bolts 

evenly in small steps on alternate 

sides (1-2- 3-4) and diagonally 

(1-2 and 3-4), in order to prevent 

overloading individual tightening 

bolts and tilting the pressure plate.

  b. Proceed similarly in the case of 

frames with more than 4 tightening 

bolts.

  c. When all are fully loosened, 

remove the nuts and then the tie 

rods.

  2. Move the pressure plate right up to the 

support column.

  3. To remove the plates, swing each heat 

exchanger plate out to the side to clear 

the lower beam, then keep it at that 

angle and tilt it toward you to unhook 

it from the upper beam.

REINSTALLING THE PLATES AND 

CLOSING THE HEAT EXCHANGER.

NOTE: Before the installation and before 

closing the plate heat exchanger, observe the safety

instructions in the section “Preparatory Precautions”.

NOTE: When all the heat exchanger 

plates are correctly installed, the outside 

of the plate pack must show a continuous 

honeycomb pattern. You can also check 

that the plates are in the right order by 

means of the diagonal line on the outside 

of the plate pack, which you painted 

before opening the heat exchanger.

 1. Make sure that the gaskets and heat exchanger plates are 

free of foreign matter or contamination.

  a. If necessary, clean them with running water and a soft 

brush.

  2. Check that the gaskets fit correctly in the grooves of the heat 

exchanger plates.

 3. For a heat exchanger with a BY frame, clean the hanging 

rail on the upper beam and lubricate it.

 4. Clean the threads of the tie rods as well as the tie rod nuts 

and apply a thin layer of grease to 

these.

 5. Mount all the heat exchanger plates 

into the heat exchanger frame in the 

correct order according to the flow 

diagram.

  a. In the case of a CY frame, the 

following actions are required:

 

• Before installing the heat 

exchanger plates, screw in two 

tightening bolts to serve as securing elements.

 

• Every heat exchanger plate you put in should safely 

lean against the fixed plate.

 

• Have another operator hold and secure the plate pack.

 

• Push the pressure plate against the plate pack and put in 

the remaining tightening bolts.

 6. Determine the required compression dimension (“a” 

dimension). The required a-dimension is:

  a. When completely replacing the gaskets: use the “a-max” 

printed on the data plate.

  b. When the heat exchanger plates are only cleaned and no 

gaskets are replaced: use the a-dimension written down 

before opening the heat exchanger.

  c. When changing the number of heat exchanger plates: 

use the new “a-max” dimension supplied with the flow 

diagram and the new data plate.

  7. Tighten the tie rods according to these 

steps.

  a. Tighten the tie rod assemblies 

evenly in small steps on alternate 

sides (1-2- 3-4) and diagonally 

(1-2 and 3-4), in order to prevent 

overloading individual tightening 

bolts and tilting the pressure plate.

  b. Proceed similarly in the case of 

frames with more than 4 tightening bolts.

  8. Carry out a leak test before restarting the heat exchanger.

Danger:

 

Damage to the

 

Heat Exchanger Plates!

If the heat exchanger is tightened to 

an a-dimension that is less than the 

“a min” shown on the data plate, this 

generally damages the heat exchanger 

plates. Ensure that the plate pack is only 

compressed  to  the  necessary  dimension              

“a min.” < “a” < “a max.”
