Applied Services for Heat Exchanger Failure Analysis

Introduction

Heat exchanger failure analysis is a methodical inquiry used to ascertain the causes of a heat exchanger’s malfunction or failure. To transfer heat between two or more fluids while keeping them physically apart, heat exchangers are essential parts used in many industries. Inefficient heat exchangers can result in higher energy costs, production delays, decreased efficiency, and safety hazards. 

Technical Services Applied Services for Heat Exchanger Failure Analysis

For a wide range of industries, Infinita Lab provides Heat Exchanger Failure Analysis.

Our lab uses a methodical approach to identify the cause(s) of failure. It interprets analytical data completely and thoroughly, showcasing our capacity to draw strong judgments.

The fundamental causes of failures such as fatigue cracking, blockages, pitting corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, mechanical fatigue caused by vibrations, welding issues, corrosion caused by crevices in tube sheets, thermal fatigue, erosion, and more can be determined using our services. We also use quality assurance procedures that have received ISO 9001 certification to ensure the integrity and consistency of our findings for our clients.

The thorough inspections and testing that underpin Infinita’s multidimensional approach to heat exchanger failure investigation are essential. Heat exchanger tube testing and inspection technologies are constantly developing and getting better. In order to suit the needs of our clients, Infinita adheres to the most recent technology and practices. We are able to create strong design practices and failure prevention as an affordable and cutting-edge solution for our customers by cogently integrating our results and suggestions.
