    How to fix external leakage in Alfa Laval COMPABLOC CP15 Industrial Equipment?
    • L
      Leslie GrossAug 7, 2025
      To address external leakage in your Alfa Laval Industrial Equipment, consider these steps: * Loose bolts: Retighten the bolts according to the torque value in appendix 2. * Damaged panel gasket: If retightening doesn't work, the gasket might be damaged and needs replacement; replace the gasket. * Corrosion/cracks in platepack: Perform a condition audit of the Compabloc, and the solution will be based on the inspection result. * Cracks/pinholes at panel/nozzle lining: Perform a dye penetrant test on the lining and contact Alfa Laval for decision and support. * Cracks/pinholes at endplate: Contact Alfa Laval for decision and support to perform a dye penetrant test on the endplate. * Damaged flange gasket: Inspect the flange gasket condition and replace it if necessary.

    What to do if Alfa Laval COMPABLOC CP15 Industrial Equipment has poor thermal or hydraulic performance?
    • J
      James RobinsonNov 26, 2025
      If your Alfa Laval Compabloc Industrial Equipment shows poor thermal or hydraulic performance, there are several potential causes and solutions: * Air/gas/vapor pocket: Ensure you vent the exchanger correctly during start-up. * Operating parameters: Operate the equipment as close as possible to the design parameters. * Clogging: Clean the Compabloc to remove sludge and debris. When flushing the piping, bypass the Compabloc. * Wrong piping connection: Ensure the inlet, outlet, vent, and drain nozzles on both circuits are correctly connected according to the drawing. * Fouling: Clean the Compabloc and try to run it with parameters close to the design case. * Debris/particles in fluid: Clean the Compabloc and install an appropriate filter. * Changes in operating parameters: Che...
