Leakage from Plate and frame exchanger
Leakage from Plate and frame exchanger
(OP)
Hello Friends
We are facing external leakage (gasket) from a plate and frame exchanger. It happens only when the flow rate is increased beyond a certain value.
Exchanger is supplied by Alfa laval.
Request suggestion for possible causes which can result in leakage with increased flow rate.
Thanks

A temporary solution may be increasing the bolt's torque, but be careful, too much torque may damage the bolts and gasket.

I hope my answer be helpful.
