1. PRINCIPLE
1 ) The plate heat exchanger consists of plates, frames, tightening bolts and nuts. A
pattem designed for maximum heat transfer with small pressure loss is stamped on
a metal board to make a plate.
2 ) Each plate is equipped with gaskets for sealing against its adjacent plate, and the
whole plates are tightened in one body between the frame plate and movable
pressure plate with tightening screws.
3) Fluid passes through many channels in co-current or counter current in the heat
exchanger.
4 ) The plate heat exchanger has the types standardprocessed in accordance with
capacity and use, which are manufactured by assembling the standard parts.

3. ARRANGEMENT OF PLATES AND FLOW OF LIQUID (Fig. 3)
In plate configuration, the pattern of
herringbone corrugation is arranged by
turns, angular-root-angular-root and so
forth. A void angular-angular or root-root
arrangement. Be sure to place the
gasket face toward the frame plate. Plate S1-S2: A liquid
S3-S4 : B liquid
(Fig. 3)
4. UNPACKING THE HEAT EXCHANGER
1 ) All the attachments are unmounted to the body in
shipment to avoid damage in transportation. Check
the parts immediately referring to the packing list,
and contact us if any one of them is missing or
damaged.
2) H you are to lift the heat exchanger itself, lifting·
holes or lifting straps should be used. They should
be placed as shown on the picture. (Fig. 4)
(Fig. 4)
5. PIPING
1 ) In piping, assure that tensile or compressive force
due to piping and stress such as heat expansion of
piping during operation may not be applied to connection, and mount the pipe
support as near as possible to the connection.
2 ) Be sure to provide an air vent and drain vent in piping.
3) See that the pulsation of the liquid to the heat exchanger is restrained minimum.
4 ) Install an vent valve in the case where the shut-off pressure of the pump is larger
than the proof pressure of the heat exchanger.
5 ) Maximum working temperature and maximum working presure are given on the
name plate.

6. START AND STOP

1 ) Gradually apply pressure up to operational pre~sure by use of a throttle valve
during piping in start-up.
2) When. the heat exchanger is to be halted for long, disassemble and clean it, and
slightly tighten to make the inside empty for storage. (Apply the same procedure
when freezing may occur.)

7. DISASSEMBL V
1 ) The frame plate and pressure plate are kept parallel by two of diagonally opposed
tightening screws as a rule in the heat exchanger. Gradually loosen the two
tightening bolts for disassembly.
2 ) When a heat exchanger uses six or more tightening screws, remove the bolts at the
corner first, and attach then last to protect the corner of the :frame from damage.
3 ) Remove the bolts except the opposed two, namely the set of either 1 and 2 or 3 and
4 in Fig. 5.

- 2 -
 4) Loosen the remairiing two bolts seeing that the frame plate and
pressure plate are kept parallel. Take care that the frame plate
and the pressure plate are not gapped above 10 mm laterally and
25 mm longitudinally.
5 ) The locking bolt (shorter than the tightening bolt, provided with
no bearing housing) is an internal pressure proof bolt, unusable
for disassembly and tightening. So, when it is equipped, remove it
first and attach last like corner bolts.
Note) The lock washers of the tightening bolt are set on the pressure
plate side in the M types. So, turn the bolt head on the frame
plate side for disassembly and tightening.
(Fig. 5)

8. TIGHTENING
1 ) Check that the surface of the gasket is clean before tightening.
2 ) Press the plate and pressure plate to the frame plate, then mount the two bolts (used
in disassembly).
3 ) Tighten them keeping parallel the pressure plate and the frame plate as in
disassembly. The tightening size should be that given on the name plate attached to
the frame plate. Measure the size at least in four positions.
4) When the opposed two bolts are tightened almost securely, tighten the remaining
bolts.
Gasket face
Note) In installing a plate of M6, if the edge of the plate hinders
tightening, slightly bend the plate longitudinally with the
~
~ /
Edge
gasket face inside before installation as in Fig. 6.
(Fig. 6)

9. CLEANING OF PLATES (Fig. 7)

1 ) Check and clean the heat exchanger periodically.Operation period before cleaning
depends on the liquid in use. In heat exchange by clean water, the unit needs no
cleaning about one year.
2 ) Flush the plates as they are hung in the unit, and clean
them with a fiber brush or a stainless steel wire brush.
(Use only a metal brush made of stainless steel.)
Take care not to damage the gaskets here. Cleaning
with a water jet is also effective.(Use·a water jet with
5 MPaG or so.) In chemical cleaning with thin nitric
acid, pay full attention to corrosion resistance of plates
and gaskets, and be sure to perform neutralization and
flushing after cleaning. (Nitric acid of 4 wt% below 60oC
is recommended.)
3 ) Number the plates with dry ink or the like when the
plates are removed from the heat exchanger so that (Fig. 7)
. they can be replaced in the same order.

1 0. REMOVAL OF PLATE (Fig. a)
Pressure plate
1) Damaged plates can be easily replaced by
the same spare plates.
2 ) The damaged plate and the adjacent plate,
two in sum (only the plate with four
holes), may be safely removed without
replacement However. the performance of
the unit is slightly lowered.
Note that the tightening size in this case is
shortened by two plates. (Fig. 8)

11. REPLAC~MENT OF GASKET(See the attached paper for

clip-on and snap-on gaskets.)
1 ) Remove the old gasket from the plate, then wipe the gasket groove with a clean cloth
moistened with a solvent (methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, xylene, trichloroethylene, etc.).
If it is hard to be removed, remove it warming the rear side with a gas burner(Fig. 9)
or pour a solvent into the gasket groove and leave it for a while.
Note) Do not use a gas burner and solvent at the same time. Use a propane burner or a
drier (1000 W). Do not use an acetylene burner.
2) Use GC-8 as adhesive agent.
3) Apply a thin layer of
cement with a brush over
the rough side of the
gasket and the gasket
groove of the plate.
4) Allow the cement to dry
for three to five minutes, (Fig. 9)
and when it does not feel
sticky when touched with
fingers, apply the face to
the gasket groove.
5) Apply the gasket controlling the length not to elongate it too much.
6 ) When all are applied. pile up only A-plates (or B-plates) and press them from above
(with a weight), and leave them a half to one day.
7 ) Dry them fully and install to the frame.
Note) Avoid such places where ventilation is poor or near fire in cementing gaskets.

Gaskets can be replaced in your company by following the above procedures. Please
order the parts such as plates and gaskets from the address given on the back
cover. We also offer re-gasket(cleaning of plates and replacement of gaskets)for
your convenience.
