EXCHANGER SERVICE

Only reason of mixing is the puncture of plates. Such factors like extremely corrosive fluids, expired operation life of the plates, ram pulse of the steam exchangers are the main causes of puncture for the plates. In general mixing problem is not related with gaskets. The only solution of the mixing problem is to remove or change the deformed or punctuated plate. Problem plate may be identified with eye but for the most accurate result penetration test should be used.

In penetration test, two different expendable color penetration dye are squeezed into two different side of plate for expension. Expanded dye passes to the other side when finds any hole and changes the colour of the other side with its colour. So that leakage point can be found.

Some problems that may be occured as a result of mixing formation are:

• Oil- water mixing and deterioration of the characteristics of the oil at the oil cooling systems.
• Sea water mixing with fresh water in the sea-water exchangers and it is damage to plumping elements.
• With the installation of extra water to steam boiler, pressure increases on the steam heat exchangers.
• Mixing of boiler water with usage water depending on the pressure on the hot water heat exchangers or mixing of boiler water with usage water increases boiler pressure.
• An expert service team of Ekin Industrial provides your heat exchanger first day performance whether in place or a fully equipped service area of Ekin Industrial.
