EVENT REPORTED by SAM GUARD®

Detected an issue with a Heat Exchanger.

The temperature controller feedback was opening to 100% to maintain the heat exchanger outlet temperature, despite no changes in the setpoint or process temperature.

MAINTENANCE TEAM FINDINGS

An on-site inspection revealed a blockage in the heat exchanger.

Frequent blockages in the heat exchanger can lead to increased pressure, reduced heat transfer efficiency, decreased flow, and overall performance loss.

COST / DOWNTIME AVOIDED

Early detection of such issues means lower cleaning costs for the heat exchanger and improved maintenance scheduling.

SAM GUARD® ensures these problems are identified early, saving you time and money while enhancing the efficiency and reliability of your operations.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

“Reduced energy efficiency and delayed intervention can lead to significant challenges, including the need for extensive repairs or even replacement of the affected heat exchanger, rather than just performing a simple cleaning.”
