@HVAC Know It All talked briefly about plate frame heat exchangers on one of the podcasts (I believe the pump commissioning one) and mentioned he hadn’t taken one apart before so I though I’d share these pics for everyone! This one is being used for free cooling for a high rise we had to take apart and clean last spring because one of the gaskets blew out. This particular one had 304 plates, each one getting scrubbed with CLR front and back and inspecting all gaskets. It can get messy sometimes if you can do it on the roof that’s best, in this case it was to far so we made a big pool to direct the water to the drain. Was a long few days but satisfying at the end when it’s pressed together leak free!
