It is a constant problem for ship operators to deal with aging plate heat exchangers (PHEs). In due course, the parts inside get damaged by corrosion, fouling and gasket wear. The result? Letting heat escape which means engines and systems have to exert more effort and consume more fuel. If the problem goes unnoticed, expensive and major work to change out the PHE might be required.
We recognize at Sealong Marine that swapping out key heat exchangers can be expensive and takes time, creating downtime for the business. That is why we focus on a smarter, more environment-friendly way: thorough, expert repair of Plate Heat Exchangers.
Our Restoration Services:
Precision Dismantling: Skilled technicians at Out Data take care to pull apart the system one piece at a time.
Thorough Inspection: All plates, gaskets and frame parts are generally inspected in detail to find out if they are torn or damaged due to friction, corrosion or wear.
Advanced Cleaning: Using professional techniques, we get rid of dead-hard fouling, scale and corrosion deposits on plates, unclogging the flow paths.
Gasket Management: We change all gaskets to materials made for your specific fluids and temperature needs.
Expert Reassembly and Testing: Experts reassemble the unit using the exact builder’s guidelines and put it through demanding pressure checks to confirm its performance and prevent leaks.
