WFI. It is completely drainable on the product side. The Pharma-X is supplied either as a naked heat exchanger or as a module. The module is built as a plug-and-play module for easy installation. It is delivered complete with insulation, cladding, valves and a pitot tube arrangement for connection to the WFI main loop. - Page 6 All product wetted parts in the Pharma-X are electropolished and the tubes are seamless. No risk of cross-contamination There are no internal welds in the Pharma-X, eliminating the risk of cross contamination between the product and the service medium. Drainable The Pharma-X is fully drainable on the product side, with no dead legs.

2 Installation and initial start-up 2.3 The pitot tube arrangement In stand by mode, hot water from the main loop enters via the pitot tube, Fig. 7, and flows continuously through the point-of-use cooler and back to the main loop. The pitot tube can be turned 180 degrees if needed. -
Page 10: Initial Start-Up Procedure
2 Installation and initial start-up 2.4 Initial start-up procedure When taking a heat exchanger into operation, slowly start to circulate the cold medium only. Make sure that the entire cold side of the heat exchanger is completely flooded before closing the vents. The hot medium should then be gradually introduced until all passages are filled with hot fluid. -
Page 11: Operation
A sufficient flow is maintained in the Pharma-X by means of the pitot tube in the main loop, as long as the flow rate in the main loop is maintained. -
Page 12: Maintenance
When the SIP operation is completed, condensate is removed from the lowest drain points of the system. Make sure the product side of the Pharma-X is drained properly. Close the user point and drain points of the Pharma-X. Allow the system to cool. -
Page 13: Technical Data
