  • Page 5: Scope

    Receiving and Inspection: Each AGC heat exchanger is assembled and fully tested at the factory prior to shipping. Once the unit has successfully passed all tests it is prepared for shipping. Every AGC heat exchanger is thoroughly inspected to ensure it is in perfect condition before leaving the factory.
  • Page 6: Drawing Package

    Every frame is shipped with a drawing package. This drawing package contains important information that is specific to your heat exchanger. If you cannot find the drawing package, contact AGC Heat Transfer or your local AGC distributor to obtain a replacement prior to installing the heat exchanger.
  • Page 7: Frame Placement

    The final document in the drawing package is the ProFlow manual. The ProFlow manual has information about the AGC Heat Transfer product line and a more in-depth discussion about plate heat exchangers in general. Frame Placement: Locate the Pro3-XP frame on a firm flat surface capable of supporting the press and all of its contents when full.
  • Page 8 Figure 4 Port Leveling Once the ports are level, the heat exchanger should be adjusted so it will drain properly. This is done by adjusting the ball feet to establish a slope from end to end. Figure 5 shows a press adjusted to drain forward to the fixed end.
  • Page 9: Frame Connections

    Frame Connections: Careful planning during the installation of your new heat exchanger will help ensure years of trouble free operation. All piping connections should be well supported and carefully aligned with the ports on the heat exchanger. Misaligned pipes or pipes that are not properly supported can lead to connection failures or cracks in the welded joints.
  • Page 10: Normal Operation

    If your press is closed to the minimum dimension and leaks are noticed contact AGC Heat Transfer for technical assistance. Closing the press beyond the minimum dimension could cause permanent damage to the plates, frame, or both. When measuring the compressed dimension it is a good practice to take the measurement in several locations on the inside of the fixed end and follower as shown in figure 8.
  • Page 11: Opening The Heat Exchanger

    Figure 8 Tightening Location and Sequence Measure top and bottom as well as front and back. The heat exchanger is designed operate at its top efficiency when it is closed to a metal to metal condition. This means the rubber plate gaskets are fully compressed and the plates contact points are fully engaged with each adjacent plate.
  • Page 12: Operator Maintenance

    Operator Maintenance: All AGC Heat Transfer heat exchangers are designed to require minimal operator maintenance. As long as the unit is operated within the pressure and temperature limits the only maintenance required is routine cleaning, lubrication and inspection. We recommend the unit be leak checked annually using the PlateCheck field service provided by AGC Heat Transfer.
