In a holistic approach to thermal transfer systems, the added value goes beyond the initial cost of the technology, including other factors such as energy efficiency, compactness and installation flexibility, reliability, and ease of maintenance.
Maintenance intervention with gaskets replacement on flanges in a cogeneration plant in operation since 2014 with Tempco heat exchangers, specifically a brazed plate exchanger on jackets and a shell and tube exchanger on fumes heat recovery.
The importance of preventive maintenance and alarms in thermoregulation systems, the lack of oil circulation and the intervention of the maximum temperature thermostat, ignoring the alarm, led to the explosion of the electrical resistors.
Importance of preventive maintenance and checking and replacement of gaskets to ensure full efficiency of plate heat exchangers for temperature control in the production process industry.
Revamping and cleaning of the plates for plate heat exchangers installed in the production site of an important steel mill in the province of Milan, with complete replacement of the plate packs on the oldest exchangers.
Why and how do heat exchangers get dirty, scaling of thermal transfer surfaces or fouling due to dirty fluids with solid suspended particles flowing inside the exchanger, and the possible interventions aimed at maintaining the thermal transfer efficiency.
Plate heat exchanger employed as an emergency device for the dissipation of decay heat from a nuclear reactor for the experimental nuclear plant of the ELSMOR project.
Cleaning operations on brazed plate heat exchangers through chemical washing, to carry out as soon as there is a signal of pressure drops in order to avoid complete clogging of the exchanger.
Air condensed dry cooler, as a more simple alternative to evaporative towers, and heat exchangers with stainless steel tubes ensure the proper cooling task in expanded polystyrene industrial production.
Cleaning of inspectable plate heat exchangers not only involves the washing of plates but also requires dye penetrant test to verify there are no micro-crackings on plates and also the check of gaskets conditions.
