Heat-exchanger
1 General description
This chapter describes the operation and the maintenance of the heat-exchanger. An illustration of the heat-exchanger is shown in Figure 1. The heat-exchanger is of the shell and tube type with u-bent tubes. The heat-exchanger has been hydrostatically tested before delivery. The heatexchanger is type approved by all major classification societies. Illustration of the heat-exchanger

Operation
Before proceeding with start-up of the heat-exchanger ma e sure that all connections to the heat-exchanger are securely tightened. Start-up of the heat-exchanger: Step A: Adjust the safety valve to the maximum design pressure. The safety valve can be set to a lower set point. Step B: Fill the heat-exchanger with oil. Step C: !entilate the heat-exchanger. "a e sure that the heat-exchanger and all connecting pipes are completely free of air. Step D: #emember to tighten the air ventilation plug after ventilation. Step E: $stablish oil flow through the heat-exchanger. Step F: $stablish steam flow through the heat-exchanger.

Step G: -perate the heater for approximately one hour. Step : +top the heat-exchanger by closing the steam inlet valve.
!ote: "hen the heat-exchanger is stopped# it is $er% i&portant to &aintain the oil flo' through the heat-exchanger for at least ten &inutes in order to re&o$e the accu&ulated energ% in the heating ele&ents. It is also i&portant to &a(e arrange&ents to ensure oil flo' through the heatexchanger during e&ergenc% stops of the heat-exchanger. Step I: +top the oil flow after ten minutes and tighten all screws again. To obtain the full output of the heat-exchanger. it must be supplied with dry saturated steam at the correct pressure. The steam pressure appears from the section /Technical data0. ,t is important that the condensate system has a suitable outlay and that a correct type of steam trap is used to secure against the negative effect of counter pressure.
Step I: After the tube insert has been replaced. the bolts must be securely fastened and the heat-exchanger chec ed for lea s. Step ): -nce every year the set point of the safety valve must be chec ed.
