The hydraulic tests are carried
out systematically and exclusively with
oil.
OPERATING TEMPERATURES :
In the heat exchangers PICKER equipped with nitrile O-rings,
the
maximum temperature of the heating fluid (shell side) can
reach
100°C. It is the basic standard.
In the heat exchangers PICKER equipped with fluorocarbon
O rings
("VITON"), the maximum temperature of the heating
fluid (shell side)
can reach 150°C.
If moreover they have a tube bundle with special tinning
Sn-Ag, this
limit is carried to 200°C.
