7. RECEIVING of EQUIPMENT
7.1. Receiving Check
The APV GPHE is typically shipped fully assembled, skid mounted and wrapped in
protective plastic. Other packaging methods could include an open box or seaworthy
packaging. See Figure 28.
Upon receipt of the equipment, check all received items against the packing list for
damage or missing parts. Damaged or missing items must be reported immediately to
the transportation carrier.
7.2. Documents
The following documents are included with the equipment (the drawings can be
separate or integrated into one customer drawing):
a. APV GPHE customer drawing
b. APV GPHE plate arrangement diagram including a part list
c. Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
d. Nameplate copy
e. Other order or product specific documents
7.3. Nameplate
Identification of the equipment is printed on the nameplate (Figure 29) and is typically
mounted on the head or nameplate bracket attached to the head (may be mounted on the
follower under special circumstances). When contacting SPX FLOW for service or spare
parts, always reference the serial number on the nameplate.
8. INSTALLATION
8.1. Location
The heat exchanger should be installed in an area with adequate clearance around the
equipment to install or remove plates and perform maintenance. Certain APV GPHE’s
require space in front of the head for tie bar removal. Additionally, the equipment should
be located with consideration for the required pipework. Product and service lines
should be designed to minimize pressure drops and must be adequately supported
since APV GPHE connections are not designed to accommodate pipework loads.
