The advantage of plate types lies in their compactness and efficiency. Hisaka plate heat exchangers are mainly utilized in food processing, chemical manufacturing, and HVAC systems.
• PLATE & FRAME TYPE: This heat exchanger combines plates and frames for stability and high-efficiency heat transfer. The plate and frame structure also allow for easy maintenance and cleaning. This type of heat exchanger is suitable for applications requiring frequent equipment maintenance and cleaning, such as the food industry.
• SANITARY TYPE: Hisaka sanitary heat exchanger is designed to meet sanitary standards, ensuring sterile and safe heat exchange processes. These heat exchangers are typically used in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and food industries where hygiene is paramount.
• SHELL AND TUBE TYPE: Hisaka shell and tube exchangers consist of several tubes bundled within a shell. The fluids flow through the tubes and shell, enabling heat transfer. This type of exchanger can handle high temperature and pressure and is widely used in petrochemical, power generation, and industrial process industries.

Specifications and Maintenance of Hisaka Heat Exchangers

Specifications

Heat exchangers made by Hisaka have a range of specifications depending on model types and what each is intended for. Typical specifications for matrix type exchangers will look at connection types, plate widths, plate lengths, plate thickness, and material.

• Connection Types: Every Hisaka heat exchanger differs depending on whether it will be used for piping or flange-related connections. For example, the A type utilizes a PTS type connection for piping, whereas the C Type may use a PTS or Upn connection. This means that the heat exchanger will connect to a system that properly allows it to.
• Plate Configuration Dimensions: Each Hisaka unit will have a distinct plate configuration and dimension. For example, the K Type has plate widths of 275 mm and 320 mm. The plate length also differs with the type. Type A has lengths of 1,727.5 mm and 2,480 mm. Other types such as L have a different plate configuration.
• Plate Material: Depending on how corrosive or reactive the fluid is, every heat exchanger plate will have distinct plate materials. For example, the S Type uses stainless plates/steel type 304 materials, while the Z Type uses titanium plates.

Maintenance

Hisaka heat exchangers are made in such a way that they don't need much maintenance. Still, there are a few things that can be done regularly so that they work better and last longer over time. Regular inspection and cleaning of the heat exchanger will help to maintain its efficiency over time. Heat exchangers can be cleaned by chemically infusing cleaning solutions that will help to remove any buildup of scale or deposits. In some cases, sacrificial anodes can take the brunt of electrolysis and help to prevent any major corrosion within the heat exchanger device. Further, working systems can be fluid tested to see if there are any leaks or unexpected reactions happening within the fluids.Inspecting: Visually inspect the entire machine to see if there are any signs of leaks or corrosion. If there are, the unit should be further examined by a specialist who knows how to service and repair the heat exchanger.Hisaka heat exchangers are made in such a way that they don't need much maintenance.
