Following are the photos of plate heat exchanger (PHE) that we recently decide to open up because we cannot get good heat exchange and desired temperature. The PHE has been in operation for about 2 years already. We can see gum from crude palm oil (CPO) sticking on the outer part of the plates which create fouling on the PHE. All together there are 115 plates on this PHE. Now, we are dismantling it too clean the plates.
See how bad is the fouling on this PHE
The black hardened gum from CPO is found sticking on the plates. Some of the pieces of hardened gum have been removed, and we can slightly see the plates. Can you see it?
Some of the pieces of hardened gum lying helplesly on the floor.While dismantling this heat exchanger, we found some other problems. Later I shall discuss about it.
