In the presence of a fluid, a pressure differential or a contaminating element such as bacteria, any through crack in a heat exchanger plate presents a potential risk of contamination between fluids (food risk, chemical risk, etc.).
Controlling processes and guaranteeing the integrity of plate heat exchangers is therefore a growing quality priority within companies.
We can meet all your requirements, enabling you to :
The O’Test™ consists of pressurising a circuit of a section with water ‘at least 3 bars’ for 15 minutes in order to check its internal tightness.
The benefits?
Identification of through cracks greater than 50 μm
Simple and easy to use
Short downtime, without opening the exchanger
Data recording and retrieval
Issue of the O’test certificate
Diagnosis of corrective maintenance if necessary
The BUL’Test™ consists of injecting a miscible tracer gas into one circuit of one section of the exchanger, and detecting by sniffing the presence of gas in the second circuit in air circulation.
The benefits?
Identification of through cracks down to 30 µm
Simple and easy to use
Short downtime, without opening the exchanger
Data recording and retrieval
Issue of the BUL’test certificate
Curative and/or predictive maintenance diagnostics if necessary
The INT’Test™ integrity test involves injecting a tracer gas into a section of the exchanger, at different pressure levels, and sniffing to detect the presence of gas in the second vacuum circuit.
The benefits?
100% test guarantee by checking the state of the heat exchanger by opening it
Highly accurate results, with through-crack detection down to 20 µm
Quick read-out of results
Very low stress on the plates
Data recording and retrieval
Issue of the INT’test certificate
Curative and/or predictive maintenance diagnostics if necessary
The ALL’Test™ solution consists of checking the general condition, the effectiveness of the cleaning in place and analysing all the wearing parts of your heat exchanger. This audit is completed by an INT’test integrity test.
The benefits?
Thorough inspection of all equipment
Systematic replacement of all ring seals
Examination completed by an INT’test, and therefore detection of through microcracks down to 20 µm
Issue of the INT’test certificate
