I would like to ask whether the gaskets need to be replaced after cleaning a plate heat exchanger
Thread Content
How often should a plate heat exchanger be cleaned under normal use, and is it necessary to replace the gaskets each time it is cleaned?
It depends on the condition of the medium and its level of cleanliness; we usually do it once a year
It should be determined based on the heat exchange efficiency.
Do the washers need to be replaced every year when they are cleaned?
If it comes into contact with toxic or harmful substances, it’s best to replace it after each cleaning. After all, once the gasket is used, its elasticity decreases, making leaks more likely to occur
It’s fine to do it clearly once a year. Replace the gasket every time
Our factory was cleaned this year; the heat exchangers were not removed and were cleaned along with the rest of the system. The effect is good; it only needs to be cleaned once a year. The water quality is the main factor that needs to be taken into consideration. The water quality in each area varies, which also determines the frequency of cleaning!
Depending on the condition of the medium and gaskets, it is recommended to replace them if they are severely aged; otherwise, they can still be used, though the bolt preload will need to be higher than before removal.
