Process heaters are critical for any liquid processing systems in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and oil industries. Over time, even the best-manufactured heaters will suffer from performance issues due to wear and tear. Here are five areas to look into to help restore the machine's capabilities quickly.
Dirty Filters
All machines, including process heaters, use filters to remove debris and other invasive sediments and dust from liquid entryways. Dirty filters will cause clogs and unnecessary pressure. Plus, flagged debris can damage the filter material, causing it to push through and cause process heater component damages.
Problematic Thermostat
Inaccurate heating can be a process heater thermostat issue or something bigger than the latter. However, maintenance and repair specialists prioritize looking into thermostats before disassembling your process heaters. If the thermostat turns out inaccurate, you and the specialists will have saved time and resources not taking apart the heater components.
Insufficient Heating
Wear and tear have significant effects on the heating range and element bundles. These will create significant performance issues on heating performance and inaccuracies. By working with dependable technicians, you can recalibrate or replace the damaged heating elements.
Unknown Blown Fuses or Tripped Breakers
If your machine fails to turn on, the heater might have blown fuses or tripped breakers. Fortunately, your in-house technical team can easily resolve these problems. On the other hand, if replacing blown fuses doesn't do anything, you might want technical help before flipping tripped breakers to avoid any electrical damage.
