Installation
Requirements
Note!
• Before connecting any piping, make sure
all foreign objects have been rinsed out of
the system.
• When connecting the pipe system make
sure the pipes do not subject the plate heat
exchanger to stress or strain.
• To avoid water hammer, do not use fast-
closing valves.
Safety valves should be installed according to
current pressure vessel regulations.
If PHE surface temperature is expected to be hot
or cold, the PHE should be isolated.
It is recommended that protective sheets are
used to cover the PHE.
For each model, design pressures and tempera-
tures are marked on the identification plate.
Those must not be exceeded.
Shut-off valves
To be able to open the
heat exchanger, shut-off
valves should be provid-
ed in all connections.
Space
1500 mm minimum free
space is needed for lifting
plates in and out.
Multi-pass units:
Connections on the pressure plate
It is important that the plate pack has been
tightened to the correct measurement
(check against drawing) before the pipe is
connected.
Foundation
Install on a flat foundation
giving enough support to
the frame.
Elbow
To make it easier to
disconnect the plate
heat exchanger, an el-
bow should be flanged
to the connection in the
pressure plate, direct-
ed upwards or side-
ways, and with another
flange located just out-
side the contour of the
heat exchanger.
