Summary:

According to the above points and the system's significant water loss, as well as some other reasons, it can lead to blockage and scaling issues in the heat exchanger.


  The following issues exist during the use of plate heat exchangers.

  1. Water quality issues

  The water quality in the system is poor and does not meet usage requirements:

  High levels of Ca2+ and Mg2+; diverse water sources - tap water, groundwater, river and lake water.

  The water source contains a large amount of suspended solids and sediment that are used directly without filtration.

  2. Pipeline issues

  The structure of the newly built pipeline is unreasonable:

  The pipeline network was not cleaned properly or was not cleaned at all before the system operation;

  Old pipelines with oxidized inner surfaces that flake off when heated; no protection or flushing of the pipeline network during the heating off period.

  3. Water quality softening does not meet requirements:

  Water quality softening does not meet standards; there is no regular testing of the water quality softening situation;

  The soft water system cannot be used continuously, and the system is not equipped with a water softener.

  4. Filtration component issues:

  Insufficient design of filtration components; unreasonable selection of filtration components;

  Filtration components are ineffective, and maintenance of filtration components is not timely.

  5. Clogging issues:

  According to the above points and the significant water loss in the system, as well as other reasons, clogging and scaling issues in the heat exchanger will occur.
