The applicable equipment design pressures and design temperatures of the
different spaces should not be exceeded to prevent damage.
Installation/Erection:
•The user has to take care of adequate safeguards in the system that
guarantee an operational pressure below the design pressure of the
equipment at all times.
•The equipment has to be installed vertical with a well-designed supporting
structure fixed to the brackets/lifting lugs. Installing the heat exchanger on
the nozzles only without proper supporting is not allowed.
•Stresses and vibrations on the nozzles have to be prevented.
•Pulsations in the streams need to prevented.
•During lifting or transport of the equipment contact with obstacles and high
velocities should be prevented. The lifting lugs must be used for hoisting.
•The interconnected ducting/piping must be supported to prevent
unacceptable loads on the nozzles of the equipment.
•In order to have sufficient space for maintenance, 2 meters above and 0.8
meters below the heat exchanger need to be clear.
•It is strongly advised to provide possibilities for a hoisting device above the
heat exchanger for lifting of the top lid during maintenance.
•The user has to install sufficient insulation around the heat exchanger
surface.
Usage:
•The user has to check correct installation of connections between the heat
exchanger and piping/ducting before usage.
•The flue gas in- and outlet have to blinded off with gas tight valves or
blinding flanges when the air side of the heat exchanger is not connected or
is not in operation.
•During opening of the sample points, adequate Personal Protection should be
worn to prevent injuries.
•An adequate grounding connection on two locations has to be applied to
release possible static electricity.
•The equipment should only be used in areas that are not classified according
to ATEX 95 / 137.

Maintenance and Inspection
•After 1 year of operation, the inside of the heat exchanger needs to be
inspected in the presence of a HeatMatrix employee. The heat exchanger can
be inspected in the regular maintenance interval when there is no
degradation of the heat exchanger observed during this first inspection.
•Before removing lids or opening the heat exchanger, the user has to verify
that the equipment is at ambient pressure, cooled down and properly
separated from the process system (for example using spade’s).
•In order to safeguard the continued excellent performance of the heat
exchanger it is important to establish regular cleaning schedules for the heat
exchangers in order to avoid clogging due to dust fouling. The bundles can be
cleaned by flushing with water in case of fouling. After consultation with
HeatMatrix Group, cleaning with a chemical agent can be considered
depending on the type of fouling. The usage of steam, high-pressure water,
organic hydrocarbon (solvents) or other mechanical means for cleaning are
never allowed. This might seriously damage the equipment.
Please note that adequate cleaning of the bundles is user’s own
responsibility. Warranty claims due to clogging of the bundles will never be
covered under HeatMatrix Group’s warranty.
•Damaged parts have to be replaced or repaired by qualified personnel.
•PTFE (band) gaskets should be used between the flanges of the equipment in
order to have a proper gas sealing without leakage.
•The internal surface of the heat exchanger shell is coated with a glass flake
vinyl ester coating. Welding or mechanical forces will seriously damage the
coating and are therefore never allowed. Prevent collisions of tools or hard
objects against the wall of the heat exchanger shell. Defects in the coating
must be repaired immediately by qualified personnel.
Removing and placing procedure of the bundles
•Before removing lids or opening the heat exchanger, the user has to verify
that the equipment is at ambient pressure, cooled down and properly
separated from the process system (for example using spade’s).
•Remove top lit of the shell
•Remove the screws that keep the bundles in place
•Remove bottom lit on the manhole in the bottom
•Use an hydraulic (pneumatic) piston to push the bundles out of the O-ring
assembly
•Remove the bundles via the top of the shell. One bundles weighs 13 kg
•Apply grease on the support rings of the new bundle
•Insert the new bundle and push it into the O-ring assembly
•Insert and tighten the bolts to keep the bundle in place
•Close man hole
•Close top lit
