Heat Exchanger Diagnostics

- A lack of expertise in performing early-stage diagnosis of heat exchanger problems to minimize maintenance shutdown costs
- Currently available tools are difficult to use and require high-level expertise to interpret results.
   Most are intended only for offline use.
- Resources are insufficient for daily monitoring of each and every heat exchanger.

- InsightSuiteAE's online monitoring helps eliminate heat exchanger failures and prevent plant shutdowns by showing current performance levels and long-term trends, and KPIs keep expenses down by showing the optimum time for heat exchanger cleaning.
- Daily reports quickly identify energy-inefficient assets, and KPIs alert operators to abnormalities, help engineers perform root cause analysis, and facilitate timely decisions by management.
- Yokogawa's unique and easy-to-configure diagnostic tool and services preempt failures by identifying the slightest deterioration in health and suggesting how a heat exchanger can be returned to optimum performance.

- Smart algorithms developed by Yokogawa experts enable dynamic troubleshooting of heat exchanger performance. InsightSuiteAE takes a four-way approach to heat exchanger diagnosis by monitoring heat balance, thermal balance, fouling, and the rate of pressure drop.
- KPIs allow users to keep track of heat exchanger effectiveness, thermal efficiency, and fouling rates.
- Daily reports generated by InsightSuiteAE give a quick grasp of all essential heat exchanger performance parameters.
