What types of heat exchangers does MechPro service?
MechPro specializes in servicing plate and frame heat exchangers and shell and tube heat exchangers. We also provide cleaning, maintenance, and repair services for cooling towers, pumps, valves, and oil coolers.
How often should I have my heat exchanger serviced?
Regular maintenance depends on your industry and usage. As a general guideline, heat exchangers should be inspected and cleaned annually or whenever you notice reduced performance, fouling, or leaks. Our team can provide a customized maintenance schedule based on your specific needs.
What is Clean-in-Place (CIP) cleaning, and when is it necessary?
CIP cleaning is a process that uses chemical flushing to remove deposits like calcium, rust, and biological growth without disassembling the heat exchanger. It’s necessary when scaling or fouling significantly reduces heat transfer efficiency. Our mobile CIP units allow us to perform this service on-site, minimizing downtime.
Can you provide replacement parts for my heat exchanger?
Yes, MechPro carries an extensive inventory of replacement plates and gaskets compatible with all major heat exchanger brands, including Alfa Laval, GEA, Tranter, SWEP, and more. Contact us with your model details, and we’ll help you find the right parts.
How can I tell if my heat exchanger needs cleaning or repair?
Common signs include:
- Reduced efficiency or heat transfer
- Fluid leaks
- Increased energy consumption
- Visible corrosion, scaling, or fouling
- Abnormal noises or vibrations
If you notice any of these issues, contact us for an assessment and service.
Do you offer emergency heat exchanger repair services?
