INTRODUCTION The Lochinvar LOKE Instantaneous packaged plate heat exchanger is designed to heat domestic hot water (DHW) using low temperature hot water (LTHW) from a boiler or similar. The unit is designed with a low return temperature during demand to ensure boilers are in continuous condensing mode.
If there is a chance the peak demand could temporarily exceed the maximum flow rate of the unit chosen, then consideration should be given to using a small buffer vessel to cope with this peak flow. For help with sizing and selection please contact your local Area Sales Manager or Lochinvar Internal Sales.

11.0 COMMISSIONING AND TESTING WATER CONNECTIONS See Section 8.6: WATER CONNECTIONS The system should be thoroughly flushed out with cold water without any circulating pumps in position. Ensure all the valves are open. Check the system for leaks and repair as necessary. If the system is configured in a sealed arrangement, check the expansion vessel cushion pressure and pressurisation unit settings.
12.0 MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Time Interval Once a year as a minimum, every six months in hard water areas. Performance Check temperature and flow against commissioing data. Plate pack Check the tightening dimension, and look for any signs of leakage from heat exchanger. Connections Check general condition, and for any signs of leakage.
CLEANING PLATE GASKETS Instead of cleaning the plates, Lochinvar can supply a replacement plate pack. See spare parts finder at www.lochinvar.ltd.uk Wear gloves & eye goggles when using cleaning detergents Brushing: Use nylon or other types of “soft” scrubbing brushes with detergent. Never use a metal brush, steel wool, or sand/glass paper.
Dimension A can be found within the plate sequencing sheet. 12.6.1 ASSEMBLY DIAGRAMS PROCEDURE Lightly oil the tie bolt threads. Evenly tighten all bolts. We recommend the use of ratchet / friction spanners. Ensure clamping is as uniform as possible, thus keeping the frames plates parallel throughout the operation. Avoid skewing the frame plates by more than 10mm.
