Alfa Laval HX
Alfa Laval HX
(OP)
I was wondering if anyone has had issues with Alfa Laval plate and frame HX when used with open cooling towers?
model used: M15-BFG
I seem to have lost capacity (flow) in a very short period of time, 6 months, and when looking into this I found the flow passages are very small, seems like a poor fit for this application.

Be sure to design your system so that the PHE velocities stay high. When velocities slow down in PHE's they foul. When they stay high, the tortuous paths have a 'self cleaning' effect.

You might be able to get some of your performanc back by flushing the exchanger backwards with clean water and then possibly with 10wt% hot citric acid.
Goodluck.
