  Ms. Kelly HarmonAug 10, 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.
