The Alfa Laval Integrity Test is a quick and easy way to identify leakage in gasketed and tubular heat exchangers. Depending on your application, the integrity test can be performed once or twice a year to prevent future incidents. The test uses hydrogen gas to instantly detect and report even the smallest leaks in the plates or gaskets, caused by operational error or long-term operation. Let’s look at the test procedure. The Alfa Laval service team sets up the testing equipment at your site. With no need to open or disassemble the heat exchanger, downtime is kept to a minimum. By cleaning your unit and making other preparations in advance, you enable quick and efficient testing at your site. Next, the service engineers connect the integrity test to the heat exchanger. The engineers also inspect the connections to establish reliable testing conditions. Before running the test, the device is calibrated. Testing starts at a gas pressure of one bar. The following procedure is fully automated to guarantee accurate results. Gas detection sensor helps in locating external gasket leaks. The test is then repeated at three and five bars pressure. The resulting reports illustrate the condition of the plates and gaskets, with Alfa Laval service recommendations only when needed. The reports are suitable for meeting your compliance and audit requirements. Alfa Laval Integrity Test gives you the control you need to keep your heat exchanger running reinforcing product safety and uptime throughout your process.
