FAQ
Q: How do I know when to replace a heat exchanger in my equipment? A: Signs like overheating, visible damage, leaks, or a noticeable drop in performance indicate it’s time to inspect and possibly replace your heat exchanger.
Q: Can heat exchangers be custom-made to fit specific equipment? A: Yes, at Mining Machinery Spares, we work with manufacturers to provide custom heat exchanger solutions tailored to your specific machinery requirements.
Q: What’s the difference between air-cooled and water-cooled aftercoolers? A: Air-cooled aftercoolers use ambient air to cool compressed air, while water-cooled aftercoolers use a water circuit. The choice depends on your specific application and cooling requirements.
Q: Are aluminum radiators better than copper-core radiators? A: Aluminum radiators are lighter and have a high heat dissipation rate, while copper-core radiators are more durable. The choice depends on the specific needs of your machinery.
Q: How often should heat exchangers be serviced? A: Regular maintenance is key. Check manufacturer guidelines for specific intervals, but generally, an inspection and cleaning once a year is recommended.
