Before installat ion
To conside r before installation
• Before connecting any piping, make sure all foreign objects have been flushed out of the
piping system that should be con nected to the heat exchanger.
• Before start-up, check that all the tightening bolts are fi rmly t ightened and that th e plate p ack
has th e co rrect measurements. Refer to the PHE drawing.
• When connecting the piping system, make sure the pipes do not sub ject the heat exchanger
to stress or strain.
• To avoid water hammer, do not use fa st-closing valves.
• Make sure that no a ir remains inside the heat exchanger.
• Safety valves shall be installed according to current pressure vessel regulations.
• It is recommended that protection sheets are used to cover the plate pack. P rotect against
the leakage of hot or aggressive fl uids and the hot plate pack.
• If the heat exchanger surface temperature is expected to be hot or cold, take protective
action s, such as insulate the heat exchanger, to avo id risk for personnel injuries. Always
ensure that required actions ar e ac cording to local regu lations.
• De sign pressures and temperatures for each m odel a re marked on the name plate. T hese
shall not be exceeded.
