Plate Exchanger Maintenance

MechPro Inc. offers 24/7 emergency Plate Exchanger Maintenance for industrial application heat exchangers.  MechPro also carries an inventory of both common and hard to find gaskets for plate heat exchangers (PHE).

Plate Heat Exchangers consists of a pack of corrugated metal plates with portholes for the passage of two fluids in which heat transfer will occur. The plate pack with associated rubber gaskets is assembled between a fixed frame plate and a movable pressure plate and is compressed by tightening bolts for the plate pack. The plate gaskets seal the interplate channel and direct the two fluids into alternate channels.

The number of heat exchanger plates is determined by the flow rate, physical properties of the two fluids, pressure drop and temperature program. The plate corrugations promote fluid turbulence and support the plates against differential pressures.

The frame plate and the pressure plate are suspended from an upper carrying bar and located by a lower guiding bar, both of which are fixed to a rigid support column. Connections are typically located in the frame plate.

Risk of PHE downtime can be substantially lessened by committing to a regularly scheduled inspection and maintenance routine with MechPro Inc.

 

Chemical Cleaning Heat Exchangers

Chemical Cleaning Heat Exchangers

Fact: Heat Exchangers are prone to fouling which reduces heat transfer adding to production costs.  Mitigation steps include monitoring the performance of the heat exchanger and scheduling routine cleaning and service with MechPro Inc.

MechPro has a range of CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) processes  and cleaning agents for heat exchangers.  Selecting a suitable combination of cleaning agents and cleaning process parameters to effectively clean your heat exchanger without having any negative effect on the materials is critical to continued productivity. Using specially developed non-toxic cleaning agents with low environmental impact, MechPro can quickly and easily provide in-line cleaning for your heat exchangers  without having to dismantle your equipment, adding significant cost savings.

The main types of fouling encountered in process heat exchangers include:

  • Particulate fouling
  • Corrosion fouling
  • Biological fouling
  • Crystallization fouling
  • Chemical reaction fouling
  • Freezing fouling

Chemical cleaning of heat exchanger components has better results than solely using traditional hydroblasting methods, which ultimately enables better flow and heat transfer rates, less time and lower cost for completing the project and less down time.
