Jiangyin Hailun Petrochemical Project
Two gasketed plate heat exchangers connect to the plant utility network in a limited equipment area while retaining serviceability.

- Records and field photographs
01 · PROJECT CONTEXT
Understanding the duty from the actual system
Utility equipment must fit existing pipework, valves and support conditions. A compact footprint does not remove the need for maintenance clearance. Site records confirm two units installed with visible relationships to the surrounding utility pipework.
02 · CORE REQUIREMENTS
Performance, installation and service conditions checked together
Connection match
Port size, orientation and flange standard must match the network.
Pipe support
Avoid transferring unreasonable loads to exchanger nozzles.
Opening clearance
Retain room for plate removal and service tools.
03 · FIELD EVIDENCE
What the photographs confirm
Project photographs retain the actual equipment, pipework and industrial environment. The analysis describes visible structure, installed quantity, connections and access; photographs are not used to invent efficiency or energy-saving figures.

04 · SELECTION & IMPLEMENTATION
Six technical decisions form the project chain
- 01Confirm fluid, temperature, flow, pressure and pressure drop
- 02Check frame dimensions and transport route
- 03Coordinate valves, supports, vents and drains
- 04Verify plate and gasket compatibility
- 05Check level, nozzle loads and tightening dimension
- 06Plan opening clearance and maintenance intervals
05 · TECHNICAL Q&A
Questions about petrochemical utilities
Do two units always mean one duty and one standby?
No. The operating philosophy must be confirmed from the system design.
Why support the connecting pipework independently?
It limits weight, thermal movement and installation stress at the nozzles.
What should be checked before start-up?
Tightening dimension, sealing, valves, pressure test and filling/venting sequence.
