Maintenance guidelines
• Perform integrity tests at regular intervals.
•
Keep all heat exchanger documentation in a safe, easy-to-access location.
• Have the unit’s serial number handy to assist your supplier when locating parts
• Store spare gaskets in a sealed bag, in a dry, cold and dark place, and away from ozone-producing equipment as machines
or light armatures
• If applicable, inspect Gemini double wall plates each year since these plates are vital to the safety and integrity of your
products.
Maintenance recommendations
• Keep detailed operation and maintenance records. Charting performance helps create a useful road map for maintenance
and determine the right intervals for cleaning, thorough plate inspection and gasket replacement.
• Act, don’t react. Reactionary maintenance is always more expensive than proactive maintenance. Develop a maintenance
schedule based on your records and stick to it
• Monitor, monitor, monitor. Keep a watchful eye on your processes, especially at startup when cold leakage can occur, and
use good judgment to determine when suspicious activity requires action.
The above guidelines may not apply in all working condition. Please contact Alfa Laval for information relating to specific
applications.
