Plate Heat Exchanger Reconditioning

Plate heat exchangers play a critical role in all types of industry on all the continents on the globe. From an offshore platform in the North Sea, to a skyscraper in the middle of New York City, to dairies and food plants, plate heat exchangers perform all kinds of duties from crude oil cooling to air conditioning to pasteurizing food products.

 

These plate heat exchangers come in many sizes but all eventually require service to have gaskets replaced, to be cleaned to remove deposits and restore transfer efficiency, and to be inspected for cracks, pinholes and corrosion.

At Harco, our reconditioning service ensures that your heat exchanger plates are restored to peak operating condition with a minimum of downtime. We are able to offer reconditioning and new gaskets for many popular brands such as Alfa Laval, Tranter, and Cherry Burrell to name a few.
