Regular maintenance keeps the heat exchanger in good working orders and makes opening and closing more efficient. Keep the carrying bar and guiding bar clean with paraffin oil. Keep the tightening bolts cleaned for ease of opening, closing, and adjusting the A dimension. Lubricate threads of tightening bolts with an EP (extreme pressure) grease.
When closing a heat exchanger after maintenance, the plate pack dimension must be within the manufacturer's specified tolerance to ensure proper operation. Overtightening can damage the plates, while under tightening can cause the plates to leak.
The pursuit for improved efficiency and reduced space requirements has led to a preference for tubular, extended surface, shell-and-tube, or plate-type heat exchangers in modern industries.

You can tell when it's time to clean your heat exchanger when the exchanger doesn't achieve the correct product temperatures for heating or cooling. The incorrect temperatures result from plate surface fouling that reduces temperature transfer.
Heat exchangers are designed to optimize heat transfer from one gas or liquid to another during processing and Clean-in-place (CIP). Degraded heat exchanger performance from fouling or aging results in extra operating and energy costs to compensate for gaps in the target temperature.
