Material Specifications and Corrosion Resistance
Discusses various alloys for their resistance to corrosion and potential issues like stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement.
Installation and Operation Guidelines
Safety relief valves should be installed to prevent over-pressurization, and provisions for thermal expansion should be made.
Avoiding Problems
Recommendations include proper drainage and trap installation to prevent water hammer and using strainers to handle fibers or particulates.
Protection Against Electrochemical Corrosion
Electrochemical corrosion can be controlled by coating, cathodic protection, or electrical insulation.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Avoid using certain acids on stainless steel and titanium plates, and limit cleaning solutions to 4% concentration and temperatures not exceeding 140°F.
Installation Tips
PLATECOIL units should be individually trapped, and condensate should flow to a common low point.
Scale Removal by Cold Water Shock Method
This method involves alternating between steam and cold water to remove scale from PLATECOIL units, recommended for units of 14 gauge or heavier.
Cleaning and Maintaining PLATECOIL
Regular cleaning is essential for optimal heat transfer, with methods including brushing, chemical cleaning, and high-pressure water spraying.
Cleaning-In-Place (CIP)
CIP is preferred for units processing corrosive liquids, involving draining, flushing with warm water, and using a CIP solution.
Field Repair of PLATECOIL
Repairs may involve welding, with specific procedures for carbon and stainless steel.
Returned Material and Damaged Shipments
Items should not be returned without notification, and damaged shipments require a report to the carrier.
Warranty and Disclaimer

Custom Platecoil Clamp-On PLATECOIL Application Data Heat Transfer Mastics The thermal resistance of the air gaps between clamp-on PLATECOIL and tank surfaces may be reduced by the use of a heat transfer mastic, applied at the time of installation. This will provide improved performance by increasing the overall coefficients of heat transfer as shown in Fig. 10-1. Average Overall Heat Transfer Rates U = Btu/hr sq ft F By applying the mastic to the tank at the time of installa- tion, its thickness can be generally controlled to fill voids and low spots with less at weld beads or high points.
