Overview
Plate heat exchanger installation requires controlled, uniform bolt loading to protect gasket integrity and ensure long-term sealing performance. Hydraulic bolt tensioning solutions provide high precision and large output force while avoiding instantaneous impact loads that can damage plates or seals. 
The Challenge
Solution Presented
Hydraulic Technologies supplied Bolting Systems' tools including four units of RH606 and PE462-50-220. The solution delivered a controlled, high-precision hydraulic force with uniform distribution across the bolting pattern, while eliminating instantaneous impact during installation.
Results
The hydraulic installation solution enables controlled and uniform bolt loading for the plate heat exchanger. By using RH606 and PE462-50-220 tools, the customer achieved improved installation precision, reduced risk of component damage, and reliable assembly quality.
Other Applications
- Hydraulic bolt tensioning and controlled loading systems are suitable for plate heat exchangers
- pressure vessels
- flanged connections
- piping systems
- other applications requiring precise, impact-free force application
