Maintaining a Plate Heat Exchanger
From Tranter, Inc.
 

 

Both reactive or proactive approaches to maintenance have advantages and disadvantages. It is up to you to decide which method is best suited to your operation.

This exploded view of a plate heat exchanger shows the intricacies of the device and how maintaining it can be costly and time consuming if you wait for the reactive approach. Maintaining a plate heat exchanger and its related cost is not just a good idea - it is a necessity for any successful business strategy concerned with its continued manufacturing productivity. It is safe to say that it would be rare to find someone in this industry that does not believe in having a plate heat exchanger maintenance strategy. The key is its scope and effectiveness. When thinking of establishing a maintenance strategy, the tough questions that affect budgets come quickly to mind:


Products & Services
Energy recovery and heat recovery ventilators are mechanical exchange units that help reduce heating costs by retaining existing heat and optimizing the interior moisture content of the air.
Heat pipes are self-contained heat pumps that can transport heat at high rates over fairly substantial distances with no external pumping power.
Thermal oxidizers and catalytic oxidizers are used to destroy volatile organic compounds (VOC) in process gases.
Heating furnaces convert gas, oil, electricity or other fuels into heat for distribution within a structure. They are the central heating devices within HVAC systems.
Specialty or proprietary products and accessories related to HVAC equipment.
