Abstract

This study investigates the impact of gasket leaks and plate blockages on the efficiency of a Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) and proposes remedial actions to mitigate these issues. The research focuses on the maintenance process involving dismantling, cleaning, and gasket replacements to address wear and dirt deposits. Results indicate that gasket blockages and leaks significantly reduce fluid flow and operational efficiency. By implementing periodic inspections, gasket replacements, and mechanical and chemical cleaning, a notable improvement in PHE efficiency is achieved, highlighting the importance of regular preventive maintenance for optimal performance and cost-effectiveness in industrial operations. Highlight : Regular maintenance involving dismantling, cleaning, and gasket replacements is crucial for addressing wear and dirt deposits in Plate Heat Exchangers (PHEs). Gasket blockages and leaks have a significant negative impact on fluid flow and operational efficiency in PHEs. Implementing periodic inspections, gasket replacements, and mechanical/chemical cleaning can notably improve PHE efficiency, emphasizing the importance of preventive maintenance for optimal performance and cost-effectiveness in industrial operations. Keywords: Plate Heat Exchanger, Maintenance, Efficiency, Gasket Leaks, Preventive Maintenance
