a cool and dry environment away from
sunlight. It must be protected from water and
debris with a waterproof cover, while also
allowing for air circulation.
7.2 Long Term Storage (more than 6 months)
The heat exchanger must be stored in a cool
and dry environment away from sunlight. It
must be protected by a waterproof cover
against water and debris, however still
allowing for air circulation.
Ì! Ozone-producing equipment, salt air and
other corrosive atmospheres must be
avoided at all times.
All connections must be closed to prevent
water or debris to enter the heat exchanger.
Factory installed plugs or covers may be

To extend gasket service lifetime, it is
recommended to relax the gaskets by
loosening the tie bars by approximately 10%
of the compressed plate pack dimensions.
