Spring Cleaning
Owners of heat exchangers often find that in the spring season as the cooling water temperature begins to rise, their heat exchangers begin to underperform. Considering that the heat exchangers…
External Leakage
Plate heat exchangers can supply reliable operating service for years with proper maintenance, but what about when something goes wrong? Is your plate heat exchanger leaking? Is the leak slow…
PHE Frame Corrosion
Corrosion under the connection liners in plate heat exchangers can cause significant problems. The key is to learn how the corrosion happens so that costly frame replacements can be avoided.…
Plate Exchanger Cold Leakage
Your plate heat exchanger was working just fine. You open it up to perform an annual cleaning, tighten it to the proper dimension, and upon start up, it begins to…
Gasketed PHE
The gasketed plate heat exchanger consists of a series of thin corrugated plates fitted with gaskets. The plates are then compressed together in a rigid frame to create an arrangement…
