Plate type heat exchanger maintenance

Have you ever heard of a plate type heat exchanger? A unique machine that transfers heat from one liquid to another only liquid. For a lot of systems, like heating water or cooling it down. This machine needs to be highly maintained so that it works better and performs well. However, here are a few basic tips on how to take care of your plate heat exchanger so that it lasts and serves you well 

1) Clean the heat exchanger regularly Dirt, dust and other small particles can get jammed between the plates which inhibits a heat exchanger with its primary purpose. When it is dirty, heat will not transfer as well and this can be problematic. Simply remove the plates and wash them with soap, water. Make sure you rinse them out really well though, to get all of the soap off before putting back into your machine. This SME plate heat exchanger cleaning ensures that the heat exchanger is in top working condition.

How to Properly Maintain Your Plate Type Heat Exchanger

Proper heat exchanger care is essential to extend the life of your unit. Regular care and maintenance will make it function smoothly saving energy. Because if you neglect about it, it will eventually burst and repair or replacing one is going to cost an awful lot. It is as similar to taking care of your cycle or toys, when you clean them and watch it properly then they work for a quite long time. A maintenance kit is essential to ensure that everything remains in the top-performing shape

You can easily maintain your heat exchanger by ensuring all connections are tight. Ensure that they are not loose and tight. If the screws are loose the set of coils can slip out, this stop heater from working properly and will eventually cause leaking. Finally, check the seals on both sides of plates too. If the seals are either old (and therefore brittle, cracked and no longer pliable) or broken altogether liquid is going to escape them en-mass before it should suffer this fate during espresso-making – BIG problem as your trusty machine won't do its job properly so NO BUENO!!! Watching out for these minor things can prevent bigger issues in the future.
