Connection of a plate heat exchanger - mounting kit, wall brackets
The plate heat exchanger is an important component in many heating systems. Consisting of a series of thin plates made of a material that conducts heat well (steel), the plate heat exchanger effectively transfers thermal energy between different heating circuits. In many systems - it is indispensable as it separates the boiler circuits operating in an open system from the receiver circuits (radiators, UFH) operating in a sealed-closed system.
Considering the usefulness of plate heat exchangers - they are a vital element in some heating installations in our homes or businesses. As a result, many people face the dilemma of how to properly install a plate heat exchanger to ensure it performs its function well and continues to serve its users for many years. In response to this question - Nordic Tec has prepared a unique offer of mounting kits for plate heat exchangers, which allow the devices to be securely attached to the wall, ensuring safety and operational efficiency. We warmly encourage you to explore our offer of PHE mounting set, which will save your time and give a full comfort.

How to properly install a plate heat exchanger? | Nordic Tec Europe
To ensure proper installation of a plate heat exchanger, prevent airlocking and clogging, it should be mounted in a vertical position. For optimal performance the flow of the both media should be counter-current. Additionally it is recommended to install circulation pumps on the return side of the system. It is also advisable to include isolation valves at each connection point between the heat exchanger and the system to allow for convenient disassembly if needed.
What should be given special attention to when connecting a heat exchanger?
During the installation of a heat exchanger, special attention should be paid to several important aspects. Firstly - it is necessary to ensure that the exchanger is properly positioned (vertically) - it should be stable and fully accessible for operation and potential maintenance work in future. Additionally, it is important to check if the PHE has been connected according to the recommendations (which means counter-currently). Individual circuits should be connected as recommended in the product specifications. Especially for heat exchangers weighing more than 4-5 kg (without water), it is a good choice to purchase heat exchanger mounting kit designed for safe operation of this type of devices. It is also important to conduct operational tests after connecting the exchanger to ensure that it is functioning correctly and efficiently.
Let's ensure accuracy and caution during the installation of the heat exchanger to guarantee its long lasting and trouble-free operation, even for years. It is worth noting that filters at the inlet of the exchanger on both sides should be installed, definitely before the initial start-up of the system (the ideas of adding them after checking the system are really not good).
Another thing to remember during the test run of the system is that on a cold system, the heat loss on the exchanger is usually greater, even with proper selection of a HE. However, it stabilizes when the system operates continuously and the installation is no longer cold.
Wall brackets for heat exchangers - a ready solution
The wall brackets for heat exchangers offered by us are ready-made solutions that solve the issue of mounting plate heat exchanger. By using them, you will stabilize the device and ensure its safety during operation. They prevent micro - vibrations that could loosen the connections or the sealings between the device and the installation over time. Additionally, by using the mounting kit for plate heat exchangers from Nordictec-store.com - you will save time and effort. Our models come equipped with all the necessary accessories, except for the mounting screws directly onto the wall. This high-quality solution is designed with customer comfort and safety in mind.
How to choose the right mounting kit for a heat exchanger?
When selecting a mounting kit for a heat exchanger, pay attention to the following factors:
- Connection diameter: Our store offers mounting kits for heat exchangers with 1", 3/4", and 5/4" connections, corresponding to DN25, DN20, and DN32 sizes respectively.
- Weight of the heat exchanger including the water flowing through it: We provide mounting brackets for heat exchangers with a load capacity of up to 35 kg, considering the total weight (including water).
- Connection spacing: Our kits are suitable for heat exchangers with connection spacing ranging from 40 mm to 100 mm. This makes them a versatile solution compatible with most brands available in the European market.
