Heat-exchanger
1 General description
This chapter describes the operation and the maintenance of the heat-exchanger. An illustration of the heat-exchanger is shown in Figure 1. The heat-exchanger is of the shell and tube type with u-bent tubes. The heat-exchanger has been hydrostatically tested before delivery. The heatexchanger is type approved by all major classification societies. Illustration of the heat-exchanger

Operation
Before proceeding with start-up of the heat-exchanger ma e sure that all connections to the heat-exchanger are securely tightened. Start-up of the heat-exchanger: Step A: Adjust the safety valve to the maximum design pressure. The safety valve can be set to a lower set point. Step B: Fill the heat-exchanger with oil. Step C: !entilate the heat-exchanger. "a e sure that the heat-exchanger and all connecting pipes are completely free of air. Step D: #emember to tighten the air ventilation plug after ventilation. Step E: $stablish oil flow through the heat-exchanger. Step F: $stablish steam flow through the heat-exchanger.

Step G: -perate the heater for approximately one hour. Step : +top the heat-exchanger by closing the steam inlet valve.

!ote: "hen the heat-exchanger is stopped# it is $er% i&portant to &aintain the oil flo' through the heat-exchanger for at least ten &inutes in order to re&o$e the accu&ulated energ% in the heating ele&ents. It is also i&portant to &a(e arrange&ents to ensure oil flo' through the heatexchanger during e&ergenc% stops of the heat-exchanger. Step I: +top the oil flow after ten minutes and tighten all screws again. To obtain the full output of the heat-exchanger. it must be supplied with dry saturated steam at the correct pressure. The steam pressure appears from the section /Technical data0. ,t is important that the condensate system has a suitable outlay and that a correct type of steam trap is used to secure against the negative effect of counter pressure.

Maintenance and cleaning


The heat-exchanger should be cleaned every six month and in the event of a drop in the output which is not related to other causes. Step A: +top the heat-exchanger as mentioned above. Step B: $mpty the heat-exchanger. Step C: #emove the tube insert. Step D: 1hec for deposits inside and outside the tube insert. Step E: The outside tube system should be cleaned by using a sharp li2uid jet 3use e.g. citric acid or water4. Step F: The inside tube system should be cleaned by flushing the tubes with e.g. citric acid. Step G: ,f the heat-exchanger is heavily contaminated with carbon deposits. it is recommended to chemically clean the heat-exchanger with a carbon remover. Step : The heat-exchanger must be flushed carefully with clean water and dried after the tubes have been cleaned.

Step I: After the tube insert has been replaced. the bolts must be securely fastened and the heat-exchanger chec ed for lea s. Step ): -nce every year the set point of the safety valve must be chec ed.

3.2 Dismantling and installation of the tube section


The tube section is inserted into the heater and fastened tightly between the shell flange and the end flange. The bac end of the tube section is free to move. The steam connections must be dismantled before dismantling the tube section for inspection. cleaning. etc. The tube flange has threaded holes for dismantling screws and for mounting eye bolts for lifting device. (ac ing surfaces should be cleaned and protected against damages. A new pac ing must be mounted every time the flange connection has been dismantled. 6hen the flange connection is mounted again. all bolts should be tightened evenly and crosswise. A pressure test will show if the joint lea s. -perate the heat-exchanger for one hour. stop and tighten all screws.

3.3 Conser ation during shut-do!n periods


1orrosion which occurs in shut-down periods is mainly caused by oxygen. The corrosion appears where non-distilled or even slightly al aline water has remained in the heat-exchanger. 7owever. even when empty. the heat-exchanger is exposed to corrosion caused by water residues or condensation. For this reason an unused heatexchanger should be given an anti-corrosion treatment. ,n the event of prolonged off-cycle periods - in particular during winter time with frost - the heat-exchanger must be carefully emptied. -pen the air valve and chec for clogging.
