1. Site Preparation
Ensure the foundation is level, solid, and can support the exchanger’s weight.
Check for proper clearance around the unit for maintenance and operation.
2. Inspection Before Installation
Inspect the exchanger for any shipping damage.
Remove all protective covers, plugs, and packaging materials.
Check nozzle alignment and cleanliness.
3. Lifting and Positioning
Use appropriate lifting equipment (slings, hooks) at designated lifting points.
Never lift by the nozzles or attachments.
Carefully place the unit on its foundation or mounting supports.
4. Piping Connections
Connect the inlet and outlet pipes to the correct nozzles (shell side and tube side).
Avoid excessive force or misalignment that can strain the nozzles.
Use flexible connectors if needed to absorb vibration or thermal expansion.
5. Venting and Draining
Ensure proper vent and drain connections are installed to remove trapped air and fluid during start-up and shutdown.
6. Support and Anchoring
Secure the heat exchanger using anchor bolts or brackets to avoid shifting or vibration.
Tube bundles, if removable, should be easily accessible for inspection and cleaning.
7. Testing and Leak Checks
Perform a hydrostatic test or pressure test (as per spec) to check for leaks.
Inspect all gaskets and flange connections.
8. Insulation and Safety Covers
If required, apply insulation to minimize heat loss and for personnel protection.
Install guards or covers on hot surfaces if the area is accessible.
9. Commissioning
Start with low flow rates and slowly bring the system to operating conditions.
Monitor for pressure, temperature, and flow rate stability.
Check for any unusual noise, leaks, or vibration.
